Great player but amazon has it listed for way to much.:
Don't get me wrong Oppo makes a great player and are well worth the money. But you can buy this same exact model for $399.00 directly from the manufacturers website.

One of the best universal players on the market!:
I never heard of Oppo until researching for a new universal player. I read reviews and felt satisfied to try one. I am blown away on how great this player is.

Can't wait to see if they come up with a Blu-ray Player at an affordable cost.
No need for Blu-Ray!:
Have a HUGE collection of DVD's and starting all over with Blu-Ray is simply out of the question! Now with the 983, I have all the 1080P HD I need! THANK YOU OPPO! This is a Machine....period!
