Yes I did purchase it directly from Oppo. I don't know how it works, but I do know Solutions A/V and Only Best Rated are selling the Oppo for the pre-order price of $579+ taxes (free shipping with Solutions A/V). Converted into Canadian dollars I paid $726, so $100 more than I would have paid if I only had the patience to wait till the end of the month and that's not even definitive.

They knew where the thing was going, so they better not preset it to any other country!! Or I'll reset their brains to "thinking"!!

I don't think they even produce it for anywhere except Region 1.

Tom, I believe you're right, I'm pretty sure I read that in the most recent review. The reviewer was complaining about it not truly being a "universal player" in which he mentioned that.

Hey guys, I'm hoping to get my Oppo set up tomorrow!! I pretty much have the video settings figured out, but I'm a little stumped as far as the audio settings go. Could you guys help me out as to whether I should set the audio to Bitstream, PCM, or LPCM. I don't understand the difference between the latter two. I would assume I would set it to Bitstream, but I'm not sure.
Also, do you guys have any other recommended settings that you used? I'm connecting via HDMI to my Denon, so our setups may not be exactly the same, but any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Hi cam,
If your Denon avr is capable of decoding Dolby TrueHD andDTS HD then set it to Bitstream. If your Denon avr does not decode these formats then set it to LPCM over HDMI then the OPPO will do the processing.
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
