MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 22, 2007 -- OPPO Digital, Inc. (www.oppodigital.com), an award winning consumer electronics manufacturer, today announced that its flagship DV-981HD up-converting DVD player has been honored by DigitalTrends.com as "The Best DVD Player" for 2006.

As Rob Enderle of Digital Trends explained, "You've purchased the HDTV set and now want to watch something on it. You saw earlier that we called HD DVD the winner but what player would you get? Personally I'd get a regular DVD player with an up-converter right now and the best I've seen is the Oppo Digital DV-981. It makes your regular DVDs look very close to HD. And if you are like me, you have a lot of regular DVDs."
