Press Release Summary: Up-converting DVD player continues to lead the field in
performance and price

Press Release Body: MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF., November 27, 2007 - OPPO Digital, Inc.
(www.oppodigital.com), an award winning consumer electronics manufacturer, today
announced that its DV-981HD up-converting DVD player has won The Absolute Sound's
"Product of the Year Award" in the category of Digital Source for 2007.

OPPO's flagship up-converting player continues to receive high marks from the video
and audio community - with a long list of industry awards, including Product of the
Year for 2007 by Electronic House, Reviewers' Choice by SoundStage AV, Best DVD
Player of the Year for 2006 by Digital Trends. Last year, OPPO's DV-970HD universal
player won The Absolute Sound's Budget Component of the Year.

"OPPO's DV-970HD universal player won TAS' Budget Component of the Year award for
2006 because it offers better-than-decent video performance and sound quality that
belies its modest price.Now, the DV-981HD offers nearly identical sound quality, but
dramatically improved video performance thanks to a built-in Faroudja video
processor," wrote The Absolute Sound.

Designed for HDTV enthusiasts, the DV-981HD up-converting player makes standard DVDs
look their best on high definition televisions - letting viewers sit back and enjoy
their DVD collection while the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray battle continues on.

OPPO's player supports 480p/576p, 720p, 1080i and even true HD 1080p output
resolutions. The DV-981HD's HDMI output, combined with award-winning DCDiŽ video
processing technology by Faroudja, breathes new life into the home theatre
experience with vivid color, fine details, and life-like picture quality. And with
support for high-resolution audio formats like DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD (SACD),
it offers an equally powerful audio experience.

"From the DV-970 to the DV-981HD, we're committed to breaking the myth that high
performance must mean a high price tag," said Jason Liao, vice president of product
development for OPPO Digital. "So we're honored that The Absolute Sound has once
again chosen to recognize our products. The magazine is well-regarded by high-end
audio enthusiasts everywhere and its annual product recommendations have become a
must-read for the industry."

The award-winning DV-981HD is available today at an estimated retail price of $229
and can be ordered directly from OPPO Digital\'s web site www.oppodigital.com or
through an authorized reseller.
