Product Quality:  Oppo DV-981H DVD player is manufactured by one of the World's leading DVD makers.  Opo DV981HD offers HDMI 1080p connection to HDTV/Projector/Plasma monitors.

DVD Loader and optical:  The high performance, slim and compact design begins with high performance loader and laser assembly featuring Sanyo's Super Error Correction with Twin Laser and Intelligent laser Wavelength Control.  The loader virtually loads and read any DVD, DVD+/-R and DVD +/- RWs without failures. 

Video Processing:  Using the top of the line Faroudja DCDi (TM) technology, video is analyzed on a single pixel granularity to detect presence or absence of angled lines and edges, select the optimal filtering to eliminate motion artifacts.  In the film mode, DCDi (TM) properly handles 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown as well as detecting and correcting bad edits.  For video-based material, FLI2310 removes the coloration artifacts produced by common video decoders.  Note:  DV-981HD does not provide any component video connector.

Audio Processing:  Oppo DV-981HD DVI DVD player has the most versatile and flexible audio functions in the market. It includes full Dolby Digital (TM) decoder built in, with DTS audio and digital pass-through, DVD-Audio, and SACD support.  A DSP menu and set-up control allows adjusting speaker sizes, placement, and surround sound modes: 3-D emulation of Concert, Living Room, Hall, Churches etc, Virtual surround mode, Digital EQ control.  (The audio enhancement only applies to the built-in decoder).  

User Experience:  The Black Oppo DV-981HD comes in a slim and stylish package with a unique 'Glow-in-the drak' remote control.  The On-Screen Display can be set to 8-different languages.  Its high performance loader is one of the quietest drive available, being barely audible when playing DVDs.  When the power is off, it truly shuts down to just 1W (idling power consumption awaiting remote On).  The remote is full-sized, button has positive actions - a pleasure to use.   The package includes 1.5-meter HDMI cable and an audio cable to complete the package.
