Oppo DV-970HD

[BillyB]

Recently purchased the Oppo DV-970HD DVD player.Can't seem to find any remote codes for this brand in my other manuals.Just asking if anyone has any info on this.I realize this is a relatively new manufacturer but figured there must be a way to operate this unit using other remotes.I went on Oppo's site and all I could come up with were individual codes for each function which meant nothing to me.Don't have a learning remote for this viewing room or I would try that.Can't imagine in this day and age a player wouldn't allow for control by other universal remotes.I'm going to call Oppo directly tomorrow.

On a more positive note I have set up the player and watched my first movie.All I can say is I'm floored by the video quality at this price($150).It's feeding a Panasonic plasma and the images are superb.This is by far the best DVD player I have ever owned and I've had some decent ones.The connection options and format compatabilities are far above entry level and the remote is decent.Audio is supposed to be very respectable too just haven't tried it yet.The tray is somewhat flimsy but if not abused should be OK.

It's less than 2" tall and while the mirror type front tends to make it look cheap,I've noticed a lot of companies going that route now.I still need to put it through the paces but my first impression is at it's price point(or even a level higher) this player may be the giant killer it's claimed to be.
