OPPO Digital Farewell

OPPO Digital Ends Production, Support to be Phased Out

On April 2, 2018 OPPO Digital announced they will gradually stop manufacturing new products. The company says existing products will continue to be supported, warranties will still be valid, and both in-warranty and out-of-warranty repair services will continue to be available. In addition, firmware will continue to be maintained and updates released from time to time.

But make no mistake about it, this marks the end of the road for OPPO Digital after 14 years of making some of the best audio products and universal disc players in their class. The world has moved on, and despite their best efforts nobody is buying disc players anymore. Streaming now reigns supreme and consumers have no reason to buy an extra set-top box, when everything they need is either built into the TV or added on with an Amazon Fire TV Stick for as low as $30.

There’s no fire sale yet on the company website or Amazon yet. Everything is still regular price. Depending how much inventory remains, one might expect some deep discounts as the year winds down.

Frequently Asked Questions:

OPPO Digital has offered this FAQ to answer to questions that may arise from the announcement.

  1. How do I receive technical support for my OPPO product?Technical support will continue to be available. Please visit the product support page on the OPPO Digital web site for self-guided support, and use the following contact form to submit your customer service request.
  2. How do I set up in-warranty or out-of-warranty repair service for my OPPO product?Repair service will remain available for OPPO Digital products. Please use the following contact form to submit your repair service request.
  3. Will there still be firmware upgrades for my OPPO products?Yes, products will continue to receive firmware upgrades from time to time when new features or bug fixes warrant such an upgrade.

As we gradually stop manufacturing new products, certain models may go out of stock and no longer be available sooner than other models.
  6. Will OPPO Digital develop and release future generation of products?From now on, OPPO Digital will focus our main effort on organizing and ensuring long term support for the existing generation of products. As such, we will not have the resources to develop and release new generations of products.
