Looking for Multi-Region DVD Player......
I am looking for a 120.00 or below DVD player that
a) Is or can be easily modified to be multi-region
b) Upconverts via HDMI and can play 4:3 content un-stretched without a lot of fuss
c) has decent PAL/NTSC conversion
d) has good DTS/DD sound output
any suggestions???

I don't think you'll be disappointed in your choice. I've had it for a couple months now and really think it's the best picture and sound I've ever had in a DVD player. (I've never seen HDDVD or BluRay in action )

There's a full comparison of the two on the Oppo website:

Colors just "pop" a lot more on HDMI upconverting. Audio is a lot fuller. I'm hardly the technical expert as to why. To my eye, it just looks and sounds better than anything I've ever used.
A few reviews say it better:

The Oppo definitely has a better digital output for CD, DD, DVD and DTS. The Oppo has a much crisper, more dynamic sound with the digital output.

That disc tray does not look strong. Does it come all the way out or is it one of those that only come out halfway? I'm returning a recently purchased player and one of the many negatives was the tray.

The sound comparisons of the Oppo and Marantz was a different matter. The Oppo definitely has a better digital output for CD, DD, DVD and DTS. The Oppo has a much crisper, more dynamic sound with the digital output.

With the Remote control press setup and then press 9210.
It will display a menu with region code (default - 1)
Enter 0 to make it region free.
