OPPO DV-980H Frezzes If Stopped For TOO Long ??

[ofield]

Hey Guys and Gals,

I have the Oppo DV-980 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. This happened
most recently with Store Bought Dvd Death Proof.

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.

As always your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

first suggestion is to look for a firmware update. GO to the oppo website and see if any are available. It may be a known problem that has a solution.

Some of the people here have Oppo players, but I'm not one. You posted your question very late on a Friday night US time, so you may need to be patient and wait a few days for a reply because of the weekend.
