The Oppo site says it's multi voltage. Out of curiousity, why did you buy the 970HD instead of the 971H? -
You are aware the 970HD has no Faroudja DCDi deinterlacing etc that makes the 971 so cool, right?
This one is really more intended for people wanting to send a digital signal to an external scaler.Comment

oh i listed the wrong one. i did get the 971H
It is multi-voltage, i e-mailed the website and they told me to just get an adapter to plug it in to the socket.Comment

ok, i have updated the thread with another question. I was just wondering what is the difference between 720p and 1080i. i can't seem to notice any difference between the 2, i would have though 1080i wouldn't be as good because i think the i means interlacing, i think. and whenever i think of interlacing, i have a picture in my mind of all those emulator's that have interlacing enabled and full of lines to make it run smoother. i can't see any lines when i have 1080i enabled. sorry, it went on a bit. i just really cant see the difference.Comment

Your still in CRT mode mate :P LCD's are inheritly progressive,so there's no ascanlines caused by interlacing like with traditional TV's. In this case, it's referring to the fact that the signal is being sent as interlaced and being deinterlaced by the TV.Originally posted by Zero9X
It's VERY unlikely that you have a 1920x1080 screen though, so stick to 720p.Comment

720p is a resolution of 1280x720 progressive, meaning it will display all the horizontal lines at once every refresh. 1080i is a resolution of 1920x1080 interlaced, meaning it will display one half of the horizontal lines every refresh, first even then odd etc.
Which one is better is not so simple, it all depends on the native resolution of your tv and a lot of other factors. Personally I use 720p with my Oppo but I tried 1080i too and it too looked great. So, just try both out and decide which you prefer.Comment

sorry for being an idiot. what you mean by still being in CRT mode, do you mean a mode on my lcd tv, or thinking CRT in my mind :POriginally posted by Shakey_Jake33
Sane, my tv goes up to 1366x768. So by the sounds of it 720p is the way to go for me.

Is the Oppo worth getting then? I can't imagine a film being scaled up to HD would look particularly good!Comment

DVDs look superb scaled up to 720p. I have a HTPC running with PureVideo drivers from nvidia, and DVD movies almost look HD already Good thing is PureVideo works with a freeview digital stream as well.

looks absolutly fantastic mate. well worth purchasing, the oppo is one hell of an upscaler, theres no irregularities in the picture whatsoever.Originally posted by PeteJComment

I've had mine for a few months now and like others have said, the picture is phenomenal. If you didn't kow better you'd mistake it for real HDOriginally posted by PeteJ
. I highly recommend it, and seeing it's also very reasonably priced any HDTV ower owe it to themselves to get one to make the most out of their tv.

Had mine (971) a year now and would buy one again in an instant. Blinding player for the money and really good support from Oppo.Comment

the only thing i have a problem with on my 32" and dvd player is that its so big and clear if your up close you can really see the digital squares(compression issue). but thats the fault of dvds though surely, seeing they arn't hd or a superbit/criterion release.Comment
