in that case I am way off Tommy, I thought Oppo said 125$, then I thought they said 99$, now I hear 55$
I will get a confirmation and let everyone know, it was not my intent to make a buck on that, I was quoting what I thought was the price
thanks

PT, I have no stated warranty, but I will take care of folks should anything happen, Oppo units have a very good track record in my opinion, up until 2 weeks ago I had never had a Oppo come back to me after shipping it modified(over 250 units), sadly one of the early 83 PB guys had a problem unit, but like I said I am taking care of it and always will

I am always adding more checkout time before and after mod to guys orders going overseas

the modified Oppo plays back all DVD regions, all 3 Blu-Ray regions and does native NTSC and PAL output at 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p/24 and 576i, 720p/50, 1080i/50

it is the ultimate all format machine

thanks

Hello Gary:

Thank you for the prompt response. I'd actually already assumed that your modifications would void the standard Oppo 12-month warranty but felt it best to clarify the matter. I don't personally have a problem in relying upon your personal guarantee but others who are more risk averse might develop an anxiety about the possibility that you might - God forbid - fall under the proverbial bus.

As for the PAL playback, my reason for raising the matter is that I already have a Blu-ray player modded for region-free operation, but it will not play a PAL DVD, of whatever region coding (even 0). I'm actually a little puzzled how Oppo itself can advertise PAL playback for its standard BDP-83 sold in the US since, without a region-free capability (which the standard Oppo does not have), such a feature is essentially worthless, the great majority of PAL DVDs being encoded R2 or R4.

Nevertheless, I'm proposing to go ahead and place an order on the confident assumption that should the machine not function as described a full refund will be provided.

Thanks

PT

PT, I do not provide refunds on gear that has been modified, sold and/or shipped, I do however take care of folks should anything happen 6 months to a year out

the Oppo is a true multisystem capable unit, with direct output for all NTSC and PAL formats

thanks

Gary,

I'm in, but when I follow your link and hit the "Buy Now" button it takes me to the standard Paypal log in screen. Once I sign in there's nothing relating to the Oppo order. Am I missing something, or should I just call myself "Ned Ludd"?
