Oh.... I understand now. I was going to suggest that you just buy one of the Oppo SD players, because they are all good, adn cheap, but it would seam that Oppo no longer makes SD players.

I also have an Oppo 970. As soon as I buy a new TV for the loft (where the 970 is being used), I will not need the 970 and can send it to you if you pick up the shipping costs. It might be a couple months before I buy the TV though..... I just paid for my allotments from Peter Michael and Vineyard 29 and am cash poor.
