Product Description
Ideal to go with your HDTV display, the OPPO OPDV-971H is the first and only pure digital (DVI) HD DVD player to feature DVI, MPEG4/ DivX and a Faroudja technology all in one. This unique implementation of advanced video features gives DVD movies a sharper, deeper, more lifelike picture on your HDTV display. The DVD-971 also delivers richer, more finely realistic sound by virtue of its wider frequency range. **Video: The built-in, top-of-the-line FLI2310 Faroudja DCDi analyzes video on a single-pixel granularity to detect angled lines and edges and select optimal filtering to eliminate motion artifacts. In film mode, DCDi handles 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown as well as correcting bad edits. With video-based material, the FLI2310 removes coloration artifacts produced by conventional video decoders. The OPPO OPDV-971H features DVI connection to HDTV/ Projector/ Plasma monitors that support HDTV or PC-type DVI connectors. DVI reproduces original digital signals without signal loss, since it does not need to convert from digital to analog and back to digital like conventional DVD players. It reproduces the highest-quality upconverted images in 480p, 576p (PAL), 720p or 1080i. The loader features Sanyo Super Error Correction with Twin Laser and Intelligent laser Wavelength Control, so the OPPO OPDV-971H loads and reads virtually any DVD DVD +/-R and DVD+/-RW with no problem at all. **Audio: Full Dolby Digital and DTS decoders are built in with full DSP menu and setup controls. **Whats in the box: This player comes in a slim and stylish chassis. A remote control with illuminated buttons. Remote batteries (2 AA), 5-feet DVI-D and audio/vieo cables, and a users manual.

Amazon.com Product Description
Improve the picture quality of DVD movies shown on your high-definition television with the versatile OPPO Digital OPDV971H DVD player, which provides 480p/540p/576p/720p/1080i resolutions and can upconvert 480i video from DVDs to the high definition 720p/1080i formats. Featuring a slim and elegant design, it featurs a sleek, silver design that will fit in nicely the rest of your home theater's components. In addition to standard DVD move and CD audio discs, it's also compatible with DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, (S)VCD, HDCD, and CD-R/RW discs as well as WMA and JPEG digital content. It also plays DivX 5, DivX 4, DivX 3, and DivX VOD video content (in compliance with DivX Certified technical requirements).

The OPDV971H features Faroudja's Emmy award-winning DCDi deinterlacing and scaling technology to up-convert standard video in DVDs to HD resolutions. DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology eliminates the jagginess that conventional upconverters introduced to diagonal edges in video. FaroudjaOs unique DCDi algorithm identifies all the moving edges in a scene and adjusts the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it, eliminating staircasing or jagged edge artifacts.

Other features include a 108MHz/12bit video D/A converter, super error correction with twin laser and intelligent laser wavelength control, NTSC/PAL output (from both NTSC and PAL formatted discs), multi-angled view capability, virtual surround sound, and built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders. Future upgrades to the firmware can be updated to the player via a CD-ROM disc. It offers the following connection options:

  • DVI Out: 1 (480p, 576p, 540p, 720p, 1080i resolutions)
  • S-Video Out: 1
  • Composite AV Out: 1
  • Component Out
  • Subwoofer Out: 1
  • Optical digital audio Out: 1
  • Coaxial digital audio Out: 1

Tech Talk
DivX is a video codec (a piece of software encoding and decoding video) based on the MPEG-4 compression format, that blends good quality video with a low bitrate. This translates to a smaller file size (around 15 percent of a standard DVD's video file), making it easier to transfer to portable devices as well as quicker to create (encode).

HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital) is a disc encoding format for audio CDs and DVDs. It can encode 20 bits of audio information into a conventional CD 16-bit channel, yielding a greater dynamic range and a more true-to-life sound when decoded. HDCD-equipped players will improve audio quality for even traditionally recorded CDs and DVDs. Conversely, because of the recording process, HDCD-encoded media will also sound better than traditionally CDs and DVDs on players that don't have the HDCD chip.

DVI (Digital Video Interface) provides an uncompressed transfer of high definition video from a digital video source to a digital display device. HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) ensures copy protection of the content. The DVI output is also essential if you want to watch copyrighted DVDOs at a higher, upconverted resolution (other video connections do not provide upconversion).

5 out of 5 stars Great!   November 14, 2008
I bought an OPDV 971 H, because I wanted to watch DVD from Region one casting Jeremy Brett (The BBC's Sherlock Holmes, 1933-1995). I could not find the convenient apparatus in french stores. I'm very satisfied with Oppo DVD player; it reads any DVD without tuning. You put the DVD in the disk-tray, press "play", and that's all: it works!


2 out of 5 stars Good while it lasted.   July 27, 2008

It appeared to be a good player however it started malfunctioning after 1 year and by the end of the second year no longer worked.


3 out of 5 stars Wish it would perform HDTV upconversion on Component Output   October 22, 2007
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I love it's performance EXCEPT that it doesn't output HDTV resolutions through the component video interface. My TV only has component inputs so this is a big problem for me. Beware, though this may have to do with copy protection compliance or something. Other manufacturers may have the same problem... We're kind of in the dark ages in video world where copy protection trumps functionality every time.


5 out of 5 stars all i needed was a better remote...   September 24, 2007
i put this unit on my panasonic plasma. it has fantastic features and plays every disk and file type i have tried. updating the firmware was easy and i recommend doing it first thing. i would take a better back lighted remote over the included cables. problem soved with logitech harmony remote. i love that oppo is out there to extend the life of my sd-dvd collection. when i get a 1080p set, a new oppo will soon follow. i highly recommend this product.


5 out of 5 stars Top rated Upconverting DVD player Meets Expectations   June 17, 2007
I replaced a regular DVD player with this Oppo unit after I read an independent lab report that ranked it best when compared to 30 other models. The unit works perfectly, has a sleek industrial design and comes with all necessary cables. I noticed a definite improvement in picture quality with DVDs played on my Sony Bravia 46" HDTV compared to my earlier unit.
