MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 21, 2007 -- OPPO Digital, Inc. (www.oppodigital.com),
an award-winning consumer
electronics manufacturer, today announced its DV-970HD
up-converting player has been yet again recognized as an Editor's Choice --
this time the award from UPBEAT Entertainment News Syndicate. Heralded by
the UPBEAT editors as "the player that redefines the budgetary bargain,"
the award-winning DV-970HD is available from OPPO Digital and OPPO
authorized resellers for $149.
In addition to the coveted Editor's Choice award, the player also received
a perfect product rating from the UPBEAT editors -- a perfect five out of
five stars. This honor is the latest in a recent string of accolades; the
DV-970HD was also recently named Product of the Year for 2006 by both the
Perfect
Vision and Absolute Sound
magazines.
Designed for HDTV owners far
and wide, the DV-970HD player up-converts standard DVD to
high-definition signal -- producing clearer, smoother, and crisper video on
HDTV and projectors. Its HDMI output ensures a pure, straight digital path
for video and audio. In addition to its up-conversion feature, the DV-970HD
can output a native 480i/576i resolution over HDMI, making it an incredible
digital transport for use with high-end video processors or scalers. As
video is only part of the equation, the DV-970HD also features excellent
audio with Dolby Digital surround sound and Pro Logic II decoding.
"From high-tech animation like Disney's 'Cars' or high contrasting, fast
moving feature films like 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,' the
image is HD-like and difficult to look away from anytime soon," wrote John
Mundazio for UPBEAT. "The player also does a fabulous job of automatically
scaling each and every movie. The picture quality is positively stunning
and again, for the price, it's next to impossible to beat OPPO Digital in
terms of overall value."
"We've really been overwhelmed with the tremendous show of support our
products have been receiving from the home theatre community," said Jason
Liao, vice president of product development for OPPO Digital. "And to be
awarded Editor's Choice by UPBEAT Entertainment News Syndicate is icing on
the cake for us. UPBEAT caters to a very hip, sophisticated reader base,
and we are sure the DV-970HD can give these savvy readers a thrilling HD
video experience with unparalleled value and versatility."
The DV-970HD is one of the most versatile players on the market, providing
support for DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD (SACD), DVD+/-RW and
CD-R/RW. It is also compatible with Certified DivX, Xvid, Audio CD, HDCD,
Kodak Picture CD, WMA and other digital audio and video media formats. The
total-package is completed with excellent design, style, and build quality,
including gold-plated connectors and a 6-foot HDMI cable, all for a very
modest price.
