OPPO's HM-31 HDMI Switch Gets Top Marks From WorthPlaying.com

3x1 HDMI Switch Honored With Editors' Choice; WorthPlaying Calls HM-31 a Steal by Anyone's Standards


MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - February 19, 2008) - OPPO Digital (www.oppodigital.com), a renowned leader in up-converting DVD players, today announced that it has scooped up another industry accolade, as WorthPlaying.com, a site dedicated to PC, console and handheld gaming, tapped the OPPO HM-31 HDMI Switch with a coveted Editors' Choice award, along with an impressive 9.9 out of 10 rating. This recent recognition follows closely at the heels of Audioholics' 2007 Consumer Excellence award for the HM-31.

According to the WorthPlaying review, "Should your home A/V system include an HDMI (or DVI) display and more than one HDMI-capable component device, and you're presently resorting to alternative outputs -- for example, component video -- or, God forbid, manually switching cables when you change active components, the OPPO HM-31 is worth twice the asking price in quality and convenience. Even if you find good A/V systems of only casual interest or you're presently short just one additional HDMI input, the HM-31 is an affordable, indispensable addition to your home component inventory."

With three HDMI inputs, the HM-31 switch lets users expand the single HDMI input port on their TV to seamlessly connect up to three HDMI sources, such as DVD, Blu-ray or HD-DVD players, cable or satellite receivers, and gaming consoles. OPPO's switch supports resolutions up to 1080p and PC display resolutions up to 1920x1200 and is one of the few HDMI switches to pass the official HDMI 1.3 certification test.

Equipped with advanced HDMI 1.3 features such as Deep Color, higher bandwidth and a signal equalizer, the HM-31 is ready to support the latest generation of home theater products. And its EIA/CEA-861D, DVI 1.0, and HDCP 1.1 compliancy, along with support for DDC and HPD switching, ensures maximum device compatibility. The compact device comes equipped with a four-button remote control and can easily fit into any A/V component shelf or be mounted on a wall.
