DVDtalk - DVD Player Review - Oppo OPDV971H

http://www.dvdtalk.com/features/004343.html

"It must be noted that the DV971H is designed primarily for viewers using
HDTV displays with a direct-digital DVI (or the compatible HDMI format)
connections. Although the player also has the standard composite, S-video,
and component video analog connections, its best performance comes from DVI.

The unit will not output either upscaled nor even progressive scan video
from its component connection. As such, if you need a progressive or
upscaling component video DVD player, the DV971H is not for you."

My comment - with the rapidly increasing selection of HDTVs with DVI - HDMI
connectors hovering in the USD $500-600 range, the price point of this DVD
player makes sense, and those with less elaborate home theater systems (AND
HDTV with DVI) would do well to look at this player.
