RE: My new Oppo DV-981HD locked up on me last night

Posted by 4season on May 28, 2007 at 09:21:33:
An *occasional* lockup with one of these more advanced players is probably nothing to be concerned about. My Toshiba HD player locked up solid on me last night, and I actually had to unplug it before it would respond again. Darned things actually do seem to have an operating system and real computing power, and once in awhile, they crash.

Years ago, my first DVD player was a DVD-ROM drive + MPEG decoder card in a Windows PC, and every so often I'd get the Blue Screen of Death while watching a movie, and simply rebooting wouldn't fix it: I had to fully power it down for a few seconds.
