Hello, and excuse me if I am in the wrong place. This is my first post and I
I need some HELP Please...

I have the Oppo DV-980H upscaling dvd player. I am having a problem with it that I hope someone can help me with.

I don't know for sure if it does it on all my dvd's but on some when I press stop to go to the bathroom or something and come back and press play, nothing happens. I press play on dvd player and nothing happens.

It has done this on some of my store bought dvd's and burnt dvds. The
media I use is Taiyo Uden +R, and Verbatim +R, and sometimes Fuji +R.
Which is booktyped to Dvd-Rom.

It has done this with both the screen saver turned on and off. I own
a Polaroid 26" HDTV rated 480p, 720p(native resolution), and 1080i.
I have both the TV and Dvd Player set to 720p. I bought this player
August 20th with a 1 year extended warranty.

I also own the discontinued OPPO OPDV971H. Which I was originally
going to buy another one, because I have never had a problem with it.

For such a expensive player I shouldn't be having this problem. If
I press stop wait a few seconds and then press play it will play
again, but if I wait a few minutes it will not, and I have to turn off
player restart and skip to the point I was before it froze.

Can someone PLEASE help me with this situation or point me in the
right direction. I would hate to have to return it.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Some other users in the DV-980H thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=879341) have complained about the same error, but I have never had an issue with the beta and final units I have used.

Try updating your player to the 01-0820 firmware (http://www.oppodigital.com/dv980h/dv980h-firmware-01-0820.html).

I had the same problem as you described, I updated the firmware to 01-0820 the problem is now gone.

Go to the oppo website and get the firmware update to eliminate the stop bug.
