Rating  - Got my DVD Collection Back!!
I was a little sceptical after reading all the positive reviews on this unit but guess what, They were all true!! I really love this player.
If you are hesitant about how the picture will look, don't be. The quality of the upconverted picture through the HDMI cable is great!!
Rating  - Average sound quality and acceptable video quality
I owned the OPPO CV 970H before this one, and got this one mainly for the USB2.0 compatibility and the hope it would play movies and shows from my Harddisks.
While the videoquality playing regular DVDs is good, the sound seems weaker than compared with the previous model, although I use HDMI as before. The amplifier has to be turned up much more and an unpleasant humming becomes audible. This was not the case with the 970HD, and I tried all different audiosettings with both the Receiver (ONKYO TX-SR705 7.1 HD) and the DVD player, but unsucessful.
And as per the DIVX compatibility I want to mention that it takes about 5 minutes until the whole Harddisk is read (ok, its a 500 GB HD, quiet full), but this is not acceptable when you want to continue watching your shows and turn your HD and DVDplayer off over night. And it doesnt support subfolders, meaning when you have multiple seasons of shows the have to be all in one folder, and the name should be shorter than 12 letters else you wont be able to see which episode you are about to watch. This could have been solved better.
Unfortunately, if you are looking for a USB capable, upconverting DVD-player, I cannot recommend this DVD-Player anymore, unlike the previous model (which had the annoying limitation of only being USB1.1 compatible)
The PS3 is way superior to this player, and for only 200 USD more you get a bluerayplayer, upconverting DVD player and a high end console in addition.
Rating  - Tech support very gracious
I've had a less glowing experience with my 980H than a lot of other users, particularly with respect to break-point insertion and the playing of personal backups -- both of which were supposed to be remedied by a firmware upgrade and... well... weren't, at least in my case.
BUT: after posting really snarky reviews, both here and in some other venues, I received a very gracious communication from tech support, offering to go through my difficulties with me, item by item. It was an extremely classy gesture on the company's part and I think it speaks volumes about their commitment to long-term relationships with satisfied customers.
Rating - Very impressed
Had not even heard of this company until about three weeks ago, but after reading various reviews I decided to give it a go as a companion to my new HDTV. The manual was refreshingly well written and the included HDMI cable is nice (like getting a $20 discount in a way). Had it set up in a few minutes, adjusted it to 1080p and popped in "Tora, Tora, Tora" since I'd watched that recently on my 32" Sony CRT. Wow, a whole different experience. I saw details I'd never noticed before, especially on the big Japanese battleship set. Flipping between this and a real HD signal I could see the difference, but other than that it was easy to forget it was up converted.
I then tried some episodes of "Firefly" and, again, very nice. Maybe a little less sharp than the movie DVD - hard to say, but it's reasonable that some content will scale better than others. (And "Firefly" was originally shot for TV, not widescreen theater projection.)
I can't say it does a better job than other upscaling players because this is the first I've owned and I never saw any demos of others. I'm more than satisfied with the results this one produces, though.
