This is true, but most people know how to turn on their TV. I think it would be a lot easier than learning how to use a computer audio system. You can do everything from the OPPO remote control.

I got into computer audio nearly three years ago, but I didn't like using the computer for audio playback. When I discovered the OPPO BDP-105D, it was the perfect solution for me because I like watching movies and streaming Netflix just as much as I like listening to music. My system is fully balanced and that's why I went with the OPPO BDP-105D with its balanced outputs. Now, the OPPO BDP-105D is the heart of my entertainment system. I play it several hours every day. It is so convenient because all my audio and video needs are satisfied with the OPPO BDP-105D.

I used to play vinyl records, but I haven't played a record in months. Most of my favorite LPs have been copied to digital, so I listen to them via the OPPO BDP-105D.

Perhaps a CD changer would be better for your parents, but for me the OPPO is the best solution because I have thousands of albums already in the high-resolution digital format.
