Overview

• The BDP-80 is a full-featured universal Blu-ray Disc™ player that supports BD Profile 2.0 (BD-Live and BonusView), DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD (SACD), HDCD, CD and other popular media formats such as AVCHD, MKV video files, digital photos and music. Sharing the same decoder and similarly optimized firmware as OPPO’s award-winning BDP-83, the BDP-80 features fast disc load times, quick response to user operations, and robust audio and video controls. In contrast to the BDP-83, which utilizes an onboard VRS by Anchor Bay video processor, the BDP-80 design has been optimized for use as a digital audio/video transport, emphasizing the accuracy of its digital audio/video outputs. At the same time, the BDP-80 is versatile enough to be used as a stand-alone universal Blu-ray player, thanks to its full array of output connections and audio/video decoding capabilities.
  
  For video, the BDP-80 features an HDMI 1.3 port that supports 1080p Full HD, 1080p 24Hz, Deep Colour and Source Direct modes. Component video, S-Video and Composite video connections are also available for legacy analog displays. In addition to its faithful reproduction of high-definition pictures on Blu-ray Discs, the player can up-convert DVD from standard definition up to 1080p to maximize DVD picture quality. Its "Source Direct" output mode makes the BDP-80 incredibly well suited as a digital transport to feed into an external video processor, a high-end A/V receiver or display device with built-in video processing. Unique features such as subtitle shift and vertical stretch zoom mode makes the player an ideal source component for home theaters with 2.35:1 CIH (Constant Image Height) displays.
  
  For audio, the BDP-80 supports internal decoding and bitstream output of the latest sound formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master audio. The BDP-80 also features a configurable 7.1-channel analog output that can be set as 7.1-channel, 5.1-channel, or stereo. When playing SACD, the BDP-80 can output DSD (Direct Stream Digital) over HDMI in its native format or convert it into high-resolution PCM. For compatibility with many legacy A/V receivers and DACs, the BDP-80 also provides an optical and coaxial digital audio output.
  
  The initial setup of the BDP-80 is a breeze with its Easy Setup Wizard and well-written manual. Setup menus on the player can be accessed without interruption to disc playback. The front and back USB 2.0 ports enable easy access to music, photo and video files. The BDP-80 comes standard with 1GB of internal storage built-in so that no additional memory card or flash drive is needed to use BD-Live and BonusView features. Featuring a brushed metallic front panel and dimmable display, the BDP-80 fits nicely in any home theater environment, ranging from simple to high-end.

OPPO Model Comparison

The OPPO BDP-80 Blu-ray Disc Player is designed to be a stand-alone universal disc player and a digital audio/video transport. It is based on the same decoder chipset and similarly optimized firmware as our award-winning BDP-83 model. Like the BDP-83, the BDP-80 offers universal playback of Blu-ray, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD and many other disc/media formats. It also features the same fast disc load times and quick response to user operations. The BDP-80's audio handling features are very similar to the BDP-83 with support for internal decoding and bitstream output of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

For video output over HDMI, the BDP-83 sports a highly advanced video processor (ABT2010 with VRS by Anchor Bay Technology). In contrast, BDP-80 handles all video processing tasks using its main decoder chip. This chip is powered by custom firmware that was developed from years of experience with reproducing reference video quality and fine tuned picture enhancements. Based on the video processing capabilities, the BDP-83 is recommended for users with very large projection screen or having a large DVD collection that needs the best up-conversion. It is an excellent one-box solution to achieve high quality video. The BDP-80 is incredibly well suited as a digital transport to feed into an external video processor, a high-end A/V receiver or display device with built-in video processing. The BDP-80 is also recommended to be used as a stand-alone Blu-ray/DVD/CD-player that offers higher video and audio quality than many mass-market players.

For analog audio output, the BDP-80 features a configurable 7.1-channel output that can be set as 7.1-channel, 5.1-channel or stereo. The BDP-83 has a dedicated stereo output in addition to the 7.1-channel output. The Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) and analog driving stage in the BDP-80 is a tried-and-true design previously used in our flagship DV-983H up-converting DVD player. Although not as sophisticated as the BDP-83 and BDP-83 Special Edition, this design enables the BDP-80 to be an excellent audio player at a very affordable price. For digital audio output, the BDP-80 and BDP-83 have very similar capabilities and performances, and either can be an excellent audio source for an audio processor or A/V receiver via HDMI and coaxial/optical connections.

In summary, the choice between BDP-80 and BDP-83 depends on the specific needs of the customer. The BDP-83 is recommended where the best possible video and audio performance is required. The BDP-80 excels in a home theater where an accurate digital transport is optimal, and it matches well with other home theater devices that offers quality video processing and audio D/A conversion. The BDP-80 is also recommended for smaller home theaters as a standalone player where universal media support and speedy operations are the most ideal.
