Excellent picture

The Oppo line has been receiving quite a bit of good reviews since they started selling their DVD players a couple of years back. Deservedly so.

The main purpose of this machine is to play DVDs, and that it does in excellent form. Truly, the best picture I've seen from a DVD player as of date at any price below 2000$.
The accompanying audio for movies is just as terrific, no tracking and decoding problems mated through a Lexicon DC-1's coaxial digital input. As a CD player though it comes up short when compared to, in my case, a 13 year old Meridian 602/606 combo.

One minor annoyance though is that although you can turn off all the front panel lights and display, you CANNOT turn off the power switch's blue light. Distracting, easily covered up with something though.

Great machine at a great price for video, highly recommended.
