Reviews of the Oppo DV-983H
-
CNET Review
The Good: Excellent image quality on DVDs; can upscale to 1080p; plays DVD-Audio and SACD discs over HDMI output; 7.1 analog outputs; USB port for playing DivX, MP3 and JPEG files; excellent aspect-ratio controls and zooming; can be made region-free with a simple hack; also plays PAL discs.
The Bad: Very expensive for a standard-definition disc player; remote is cluttered with buttons; Blu-ray discs look much better than DVDs.
The Bottom Line: The Oppo DV-983H is pretty much the ultimate standard-def disc player, but its high price means videophiles on a budget can get a better bang for their buck.

Review Summary: In fact, the remote is generally a chore to use due to the awkward rubbery buttons and their cluttered layout, but on the plus side the keys glow in the dark and the unit responds quickly whenever you press a button

Review Summary: Oppo's DV-980H player is a fine all-rounder DVD; the upmarket DV-983H is a victim of that machine's success, the Blu-ray invasion and the plummeting pound
