Oppo DV971H FAQ / Brain Dump - Page 25

Use the pause button.

]Is there a recommended setting for DD?

That could be the longest quote of a message ever. When I clicked into this thread, I mistakenly thought I was transported to the beginning of the thread.

The question is: How do I get the Oppo to advance frame by frame?
Hitting the pause button just pauses doesnt it? By the time I hit it twice, more than a few frames have passed by. What am I missing?

Hit pause-pause-pause-pause-pause-pause-pause-pause-pause-pause... get the picture? Don't press play.

Looks like Panny/Matsushita is launching a lawsuit against MediaTek and Oppo is named in the press release:

Now that is certainly bad news for a company trying to get off the ground like Oppo...let's hope they have a good indemnification clause from MediaTek and that MediaTek has the wherewithall to back it up...damned lawyers!

Yes, that is bad news indeed.

Just imagine how much further ahead technology would be, if all the engineering minds of this world were allowed to cooperate and share their work freely with one another. But then the big companies (and their damned lawyers) wouldn't make as much money... wouldn't that just BLOW?!

It probably just means Oppo will have to enforce HDCP and region codes like its licensed competitors do (or they will probably retreat from the market).

Next Oppo player may be coming soon out of necessity......without MediaTek inside!

That was what first ran through my mind but upon reading the news, granted it isn't the actual court filing, mediatek appears to be manufacturing the chip designs patented by matsushita without a license to the technology.

So will our OPPOs become collector items then?

Stock up on them now and ebay them. Those rp91s, xp30s, 2900s, and rp82s are going for a lot now.

Well, I am happy that I bought my OPPO 971H a few months ago. Will tell a few friends to grab it while still available.

Well, I wouldn't jump the gun so fast...the likely outcome is that MediaTek will settle and take a license. Oppo will go on as if nothing had ever happened...although, I can certainly see this as an opportunity for them...there sales will likely increase due to panic that their product will no longer be available

I agree....this is one of the methods that big corporations (Matsushita, in this case) employ to stir discussions that have stalled with the intent of reaching an agreement. In some cases, it's necessary to stop the stonewalling amongst their "suits".

Either that, or Panasonic is really nervous about the Oppo DV971H.

The oppodigital.com is NOT working today. Could this be related to the suit??? or just a coincidence??

There site is working now. I would not worry about the suit. The parent company of Oppo is very large and the suit really involves Mediatek. Oppo is only named because it uses the chip in their machine. These type of suits happen every day.

OK, many thanks, which is the parent company of Oppo??

OK, I've been able to CAUSE lip sync delays...now it makes sense why I am constantly seeing it too.

Lip sync delays are caused, at least for me, when I press setup and monkey with the video settings while the video is playing!

anyone else care to see if the same thing happens for them?

Maybe that's why I've never seen it. I just stick DVD movies in and watch 'em. Foolish me....

C'mon now . . . where's the fun 'n that!

Can this player uPconvert with use of component cables?

Thanks

No it cannot.

Hey guys, Is this still the case?



{{Please note: Unlike Momitsu V880N, OPDV-971H does not support DVI-I, i.e. cannot use any DVI to VGA adapter, it does not support 480P, 720P or 1080i via the component connection.}}

Thanks GSB, no luck yet I'm afraid, I still can't get my Z2 to work with the Oppo. I'm going to get it checked out by Sanyo in case it is a problem with the projector.
