Oppo Intros Last Upscaling DVD Player
March 11, 2008 | by Geoff Duncan
Oppo Digital's DV-983H is not only the company's new flagship up-converting DVD player, it's also the last one they plan to make.
Oppo Digital has taken the wraps off its new DV-983H up-converting DVD player, ensconcing it at the high-end of their line. The DV-983H is also the last upscaling DVD player the company plans to make before (presumably) focusing completely on Blu-ray technology. "We've leveraged our years of experience in up-converting technology, not to mention the latest innovations from leading video and audio partners, to release our most powerful, highest-performing player yet," said Oppo Digital's VP of product development Jason Liao, in a statement. "Home theater enthusiasts can enjoy their DVD and music collections at a whole new level with the DV-983H before investing in an entirely new Blu-Ray library." The 983H sports Anchor Bay's latest VRS (Video Reference Series) technology with precision de-interlacing, progressive cadence, and AutoCUE-C technologies, along with video scaling, aspect ratio control, zooming, and frame rate conversion. The units also offer full 1080p up-conversion, support for DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD, and DVD-Video universal playback, 7.1 audio with Dolby Surround EX decoding along with USB 2.0, RS 232, and IR in/out. To connect with existing TVs and A/V receivers, the 983H offers HDMI output, along with component, composite, and S-Video; on the audio front, users can select between S/PDIF coax and optical outputs along with a group of 8 analog RCA connectors. The 938H also supports Kodak Picture CDs, Windows Media Audio and a variety of other CD and DVD recordable formats. The DV-938H is available today for $399 from the Oppo Digital site and authorized resellers.

what OPPO fail to mention is that their possible
blu-ray player will be most likely their last,
with the already announced download speed breakthrough for broadband announced earlier this year 2008, in which you will be able to download a full HD movie in 10 seconds! thats right 10 seconds, followed today july 10 from
AUSTRALIA with the new optical chip making
current broadband 100 times faster! thats right
100 times, this spells doom for blu-ray
I myself own the OPPO DV983,and continue at this point in time to buy dvd's at really cheap
prices and watch them upscaled to 1080p by
the OPPO 983, unless your doing a DIRECT side
by side comparison with blu-ray, you will be
very very happy with the 983
