Translation: "Yes, I shill for Oppo, thank you very much."

BTW idiot. Who said my "old jalopy" didn't have DVI or HDMI inputs? But
we're not talking about what *I* have, right?

The low end market this player is aimed at is comprised of a vast majority
of users who still have monitors with progressive scan via componant out/in.
A stupid shortcut to save a few bucks by Oppo.

You seem intent on dodging the simple fact that aside from what is described
as excellent image quality that *compares* with a Denon 5910, this player
really doesn't come near the quality and features of a dvd player of the
caliber of the 5910 or even lesser players like the Pioneer Elite models.
Why does it down convert audio instead of passing a full bitrate signal for
hi end audio formats? Why does it have the "micro blocking" bug? Why all the
firmware upgrades?

As I said, it's a nice player for 200 bucks but it's certainly not any sort
of reference quality dvd player. Unless of course your an Oppo salesman
trying to pawn it off on a bunch of cheap rubes.

T.B.
