| It's been about a month since I purchased the Oppo DV-981 HD Universal DVD Player and quite honestly I am impressed so far. It delivers everything it promises with regard to purchased DVD's. There is a real and noticeable difference. One problem is that it boasts of being a DIVX certified player, while this is true it only supports DIVX 6 and no later versions...so if you try and burn a copy from your hard drive using DIVX 7 the DVD player won't recognize the format. Also if you come this far, go to the model that has the USB 2.0 port, you will create a need for it in the near future. A great product and I give it two thumbs up while recommending it to my friends. |

Recently paired this dvd player with a Philips eco-TV, and so far, I'm thrilled with this upgrade to our tv viewing experience.
With a simple workaround available on the Internet, the Oppo has expanded our DVD viewing to films made for other regions. The Internet audio-videophile community rated this model very highly, and since quality and value are very important to me, I went for it, and have not been disappointed yet.
Only one quibble: as others have noted, the player tends to "forget" where it left off if you stop the play. I haven't quite mastered this function yet, but for me, this problem, while annoying, is not a fatal flaw, and all the positive aspects far outweigh it. |

| 1st one ordered, worked once, and then died on me. Said there was a dvd in the player (when there wasn't) and wouldn't work. Amazon sent a replacement and the new one works great! I love it, and it has a great picture. I'm not a techy but deep down I think I was hoping for more. I was told this was the best company to buy an upconverter for, so I did. I like the product, and my replacement works great, but I think I did expect a jaw droping experience. Was it worth the money? I don't know. |

| While I liked this well enough when I bought it, but it failed on me after less than 2 years of use. That's shorter than any electronic product I've ever owned. I replaced it with a Sony that was less than $70 which is providing picture quality superior to this. Last time I get sucked into spending this kind of money on a DVD player. |

I won't repeat what's already been written - but overall this product definitely delivers. It's nice to see a good product, that does what it's supposed to.
I read that the DVD Drive is a little bit flimsy... and even though I was expecting it, it was still surprising just how flimsy and cheap it actually is! Also, whilst it looks like a slick, good looking piece of hardware, it's not a particularly small piece... it does have a pretty hefty footprint.
Overall though I'm pleased with it and I'm recommending it to family/friends. |

What a player! I can play SACD, DVD AUDIO, Region 2 dvd's, you name it. Great picture and sound. Best 230 dollars you can invest in your audio/video system.
