MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - August 7, 2007) - OPPO Digital (www.oppodigital.com),
a renowned leader in
up-converting DVD
players, announced the DV-980H, the latest
universal DVD player in their impressive award-winning collection. The
OPPO DV-980H is the world's first to offer 7.1-channel audio output and
1080p video up-conversion in a DVD player. 7.1-channel audio output with
Dolby Digital
Surround EX decoding creates a spacious ambience for DVD video. OPPO's
advanced up-conversion technology allows standard DVDs to look their best
on high definition
TVs with 1080p "Full HD" clarity. Priced at just $169, the DV-980H
delivers spectacular picture and engrossing sound for today's home theaters.
Continuing the OPPO tradition of extraordinary audio/video performance and
immense value,
OPPO designed the DV-980H with a focus on sound and picture quality.
Taking inputs from audiovisual
enthusiasts and world-famous high fidelity audio equipment partner
companies, OPPO refined the audio portion of the DV-980H for precision
rendering from Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio, HDCD and regular CDs. Powered by
OPPO's expertise in video processing, the DV-980H delivers gorgeous picture
with more depth, detail and smoother motion.
"OPPO is known for making quality DVD players that everyone can afford and
enjoy, and we've done it again with the DV-980H," said Jason Liao,
vice-president of product development at OPPO Digital. "Users can put
their worry about the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray battle behind. Instead, they can
appreciate their music and DVD collections at a whole new level with an
OPPO player."
The DV-980H is among the very few players available today with an HDMI 1.2a
output. To bring the best DVD experience to flat-panel and high-definition TVs,
the DV-980H offers multiple high definition output formats, including
1080p/1080i/720p/480p/480i. As an ideal source component for the latest
audio/video receivers with HDMI, the DV-980H stands out from competing
products by featuring PCM and DSD multi-channel high resolution audio
through its HDMI 1.2a output for DVD-Audio and SACD. Its convenient USB 2.0
port, high resolution photo slide show capability and DivX playback
function opens the home theater to digital cameras, portable audio players,
computers, and contents downloaded from the Internet.
Featuring a classic and stylish design, the OPPO DV-980H is compatible with
DVD-Audio/Video, SACD, DivX, WMV9, WMA, Kodak Picture CD, as well as many
other formats. Matched with OPPO's unrivaled customer service, the DV-980H
is an audiovisual enthusiasts' dream come true. Enjoy remarkable video,
picture, and music playback, and prepare yourself to uncover the treasures
that were once hidden in your home theater.
