Oppo 970HD: HD Upconversion via component cables
Oct 09, 2007 08:01
Got an Oppo 970HD? Annoyed that it'll only
upconvert DVDs to HD over the HDMI port, when
you've still got a perfectly good component-only
HD display? Annoyed that the HDCP crippleware
won't let you use your non-HDCP-compatible,
DVI-port-having LCD display with the unit?
Well, there's no need to be annoyed any more. Just grab the ISO from this AVSForum thread, and burn a CD-R (this is important, because it won't work with a DVD-R) from it. Pop the burned disc into your 970HD, and follow these instructions.
The ISO contains a patched version of the newest 970HD firmware, which patches out the restrictions on upconversion, and disables HDCP.
Alternately, follow the instructions on this site, and apply the patch to the firmware yourself.
