Press Release Summary: New Flagship Player Raises the Bar for Video and Sound
Quality - Features Anchor Bay's latest VRS Technologies

Press Release Body: MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. March 11, 2008 - OPPO Digital
(www.oppodigital.com), a renowned leader in up-converting DVD players, today
announced the launch of the
DV-983H, the new flagship in OPPO's line of award-winning up-converting DVD players.
Featuring Anchor Bay's leading video processing technologies, 7.1-channel audio, and
1080p HDMI up-conversion, the DV-983H Universal DVD Player delivers the
breath-taking audio and video performance needed to make standard DVDs look their
best on today's large screen, high resolution displays.

The DV-983H delivers film-like picture quality and scales up to 1080p full-HD
resolution, while the player's HDMI all digital output provides the cleanest
possible connection. With the DV-983H, OPPO has incorporated Anchor Bay's latest VRS
(Video Reference Series) technologies - including AutoCUE-C, Precision Video
Scaling, Progressive Cadence DetectionT, and Precision DeinterlacingT. These
technologies combined, generate a clearer, smoother, and true-to-life picture free
of artifacts.

"We've leveraged our years of experience in up-converting technology, not to mention
the latest innovations from leading video and audio partners, to release our most
powerful, highest-performing player yet," said Jason Liao, vice-president of product
development at OPPO Digital. "Home theatre enthusiasts can enjoy their DVD and music
collections at a whole new level with the DV-983H before investing in an entirely
new Blu-Ray library."

"Anchor Bay is honored to have OPPO choose our ABT1018 and ABT102 chips for its
flagship DV-983H DVD player," said Doug Fealtman, CEO at Anchor Bay. "Our VRS video
processing technologies complement OPPO\'s unwavering commitment to unsurpassed
performance and reliability in its products.\"

The DV-983H provides a rich array of features for serious home theater enthusiasts.
By applying source-adaptive, motion-adaptive, and edge-adaptive techniques, the
DV-983H produces an outstanding image for any DVD, whether it's mastered from an
original theatrical release film or from a TV series. Aspect ratio conversion and
multi-level zooming enable users to take full control of the viewing experience -
maintain the original aspect ratio, stretch to full screen, or crop the unsightly
black borders. Special stretch modes make it possible to utilize the full resolution
of ultra high-end projectors with anamorphic lens. For users with an international
taste, the frame rate conversion feature converts PAL movies for NTSC output without
any loss of resolution or tearing. Custom home theater installers will find the
DV-983H easy to integrate into whole-house control systems, thanks to its RS-232 and
IR IN/OUT control ports.

To complete the home theatre experience, the DV-983H produces stunning sound
quality. Its 7.1 channel audio with Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding offers more
depth, spacious ambience, and sound localization. Additionally, the player supports
DTS Digital Surround, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro-Logic II to accommodate any sound
track found on a DVD. Music lovers will enjoy the precise rendering of CD, Super
Audio CD and DVD-Audio. The DV-983H incorporates high resolution 192kHz, 24-bit
audio D/A converters, isolated power supply circuitry, and quality passive
components to deliver clear treble, deep bass, and a broad dynamic range. The HDMI
audio output supports bit-stream and uncompressed multi-channel high-resolution
audio, greatly simplifying the connection for users with modern A/V receivers.

Following in OPPO's well-known tradition for versatility, the DV-983H is capable of
far more than its "DVD player" name. In addition to supporting Kodak Picture CD,
Windows Media Audio and other digital audio/video/picture on CD and DVD recordable
discs, its USB 2.0 interface lets users play content from a USB disk and enjoy
music, video or a high-resolution photo slide show. Available today for an
estimated retail price of $399, the DV-983H can be ordered directly from OPPO
Digital's web site http://www.oppodigital.com and authorized resellers.
