Selling a fantastic DVD player that does a fantastic job with CDs too. Been happily using it for both for 1 year. Includes DVI output in addition to analog and digital outputs (for surround sound receiver/preamp or a DAC).
Video uses highly regarded Faroudja chip reserved for higher end Oppo models (for example it was on the DV983H, but not the entry-level DV980H or DV970H). The 971 can also upconvert video from 480i to 720p/1080i
This player has also been converted to a region-free setting, allowing me to watch Chinese region kung-fu DVDs to my heart's content. Potentially big savings from buying DVDs from other regions outside North America. It also handles the following formats flawlessly: DVD Video, DVD Audio, DivX®, XviD, Audio CD, HDCD, WMA, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW, Kodak Picture
Remote is upgraded from the original version, making it much more user-friendly.
Best of 2005 award winner for Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity. Stereophile raves about the less expensive 970, which lacks the Faroudja chip for video deinterlacing.
All of this is yours for under $OLD I will also include an optical cable and analog interconnects. May be able to provide 5' DVI cable and DVI-HDMI cable as well, but need to confirm that I still have them.
$OLD obo plus shipping.
