I grabbed some caps and sorbothane for doing a mod on an Oppo 980 DVD player (which is an excellent HD CD player), and wanted to know if anyone knows how to make it output a progressive component video signal from PAL/region 2
discs. I'm having a technician do the work, as I lack soldering skills. Also, I'm planning on adhering a metal base to it (I thought 3/16" steel cut by a local welder would work); can anyone suggest the best way of gluing it to the plastic base of the Oppo unit? The 980 has a very shallow feet; would anybody recommend just carving them off, or cutting the sheet of metal so that it doesn't interfere with the small feet it was built with?
