The Oppo OPDV971H DVD player has recently clamed the throne in affordable upscaling DVD players. A good review can be found here http://www.dvdtalk.com/features/004343.html However, it's superb upscaling is only accessible with a DVI/HDMI cable. My Sony 57" XBR widescreen only has component inputs. So my question is this - how will the picture quality be affected if I use a DVI to component adapter?
Anything? I just want to know how the picture would be affected if I took a DVI output from the DVD player and used an adapter to change it to component so I can plug it into my TV. Will upscaling the DVD to 1080i/720p with this player be kept intact if I use the adapter? Any image quality loss?
I've heard that the Oppo will NOT upconvert using component output. Only with DVI This player does not have a HDMI output, but you can use a DVI to HDMI adapter. But you will not be able to transmit audio.
Alsiedes I finally went out & bought the OPPO OPDV971H. So far it's been a great player. It's played everything I've thrown at it. It will upscale to 480P,576,720, & 1080i. When I set it for 1080i, I see more pixels on my burned copies. I just leave it at 720 @ all times. Great Player. Their tech support is great. They always keep having firmware updates as well. Also REGION FREE.
