Press Release Summary: OPPO DV-980H up-converting player and HM-31 HDMI Switch
awarded top honors in their categories

Press Release Body: MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. December 4, 2007 - OPPO Digital
(www.oppodigital.com), a renowned leader in up-converting DVD players, today
announced that both its HM-31 HDMI Switch and DV-980H up-converting player won the
2007 Consumer Excellence (CE) Awards from Audioholics. The CE awards program
recognizes the most advanced and forward-thinking products in crucial consumer
electronics categories.

"As an ideal source component for the latest audio/video receivers with HDMI, the
DV-980H stands out from competing products by featuring PCM and DSD multi-channel
high resolution audio through its HDMI 1.2a output and for DVD-Audio and SACD,"
wrote Clint DeBoer of Audioholics.

OPPO's DV-980H up-converting player won top honors in the highly competitive DVD and
Universal Disc Player category. The latest addition to OPPO's award-winning
collection of up-converting players, the DV-980H offers 1080p video up-conversion
and 7.1-channel audio output - enabling standard DVDs to look their best on
high-definition televisions and ensuring audio lovers enjoy a wealth of
high-resolution music. The player features a USB 2.0 port, high resolution photo
slide show capability, and DivX playback function to open the home theater to
digital cameras, portable audio players, and content downloaded from the Internet.

\"Consumers clearly want to future proof to some extent their existing DVD libraries
as well as move user generated as well as purchased content that resides on multiple
consumer electronics products, and bring it into their home theater experience.
Upconverting DVD players like the DV-980H allow them to do that quite easily,\" said
Randy Giusto, group vice president and general manager of IDC\'s Mobility, and
Consumer markets research group.\"


Along with the DV-980H, OPPO's HM-31 HDMI Switch was also recognized - winning best
product in the Splitter and Switches category. As one of the few HDMI Switches to
pass the official HDMI 1.3 certification test, the HM-31 is compatible with all HDTV
resolutions up to 1080p and PC resolutions up to 1920x1200. Equipped with advanced
HDMI 1.3 features such as Deep Color, higher bandwidth and a signal equalizer, the
HM-31 is ready to support the latest generation of home theater products.

"Audioholics sets a clear benchmark in identifying products that will make an impact
in the coming year," said Jason Liao, vice president of product development for OPPO
Digital. "We're thrilled that not one, but two, of our products took home top honors
this year. Since their release, both the DV-980H and HM-31 have created a loyal
following within the audio and video communities for offering high quality and
versatility, without a big price tag."

The award-winning DV-980H and HM-31 are available today at an estimated retail price
of $169 and $99 respectively and can be ordered directly from OPPO Digital\'s web
site www.oppodigital.com or through an authorized reseller.
