Any HDMI equipped receiver that has HDMI pass thru won't "undo" the Oppo video processing. I have an Onkyo receiver and am very happy with it.

I second buying a second OPPO DVD player for standard DVD playback.It's a shame OPPO has locked down the region free option on their BD players. My OPPO 970 was a simple IR remote code entry to make it region free and works flawlessly on PAL discs.I can understand OPPO's position on FW hacks bricking units, but why could they not have made this the simple IR remote code entry functionality?

Receiver most likely. If you have your blu ray, xbox, playstation, and cable box plugged into the receiver, use the receiver. If it is just for a blu ray player use that.

It depends on what is important to you. If streaming movies in important to you I suggest the BDP-103. The BDP-83 does not have streaming capability built in. However, you can connect it to a router but then the money you save purchasing the 83 will be spent purchasing a router. I suggest that you call OPPO. They are extremely helpful and will not try to sell you something that you don't need. I must say that OPPO makes an excellent player. Don't be surprised of the weight. The case is made of metal which makes it heavier than most players on the market. Plus OPPO players are made in USA. I have two OPPO blu-ray players and I couldn't be happier.

I believe Yamaha A/V Receivers only supports audio network services (Pandora, net radio etc.). You can connect a separate box that streams video to the receiver but that box would already have an internet connection.

Look for the Sony STR-DH740 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver on AmazonLow cost, yet relatively future proof.

If you need player for Movies - DV-981HD would be the best choice.Some folks are keep refering to sound quality, 5.1, 7.1 and etc. - it is only relevant when you are using analog outputs (using an outdated amp or receiver).If you use HDMI for video and audio (have HDMI 1.3 receiver with built-in audio decoders) - the OPPO audio quality is completely irrelevant for any audio source as long it is transfers audio "bitstream" correctly.

"Why not run component from your bluray to your receiver that way you will get excellent video and good sound. Using coaxial for sound is the worst choice. If you want to use HDMI to the TV then use optical for your sound." Digital coax is equal to optical for digital audio signal transfer. I think you are confusing with coax vs. component for video transmission. As far Plissken's question goes, The Oppo's 7.1 outputs connected to your receivers 5.1 inputs (assuming you have them which you should) and your receiver being set to "direct analog" mode will give superior sound to your current setup as the Oppo's superior DACs will be doing all of the processing. HDMI is still way to go for video connection.

Thanks for the info. I need 7 channels for my Oppo player. What about the 3030? I think the 1020 did have 7.1 Is that right?

The AVH-X8500BHS is a step up from this model but very similar. It supports Android in addition to iPhone. Little more pricey ~ $470, but be sure to look up the Android compatibility list on Pioneer's website to make sure your phone model is supported. The Pioneer AppRadio 3 (SPH-DA210) is another choice, but not very comparable to this model.

I've always used my BDP-83 for HD audio, also called lossless audio - Dolby TrueHD, DTS-Master Audio, and PCM. You can only get 5.1 HD/lossless audio with an HDMI connection to a receiver. The problem with attaching a hard drive via USB is that the BDP-83 only supports FAT32 format, used in DOS & Win95, and limits file size to a maximum of 4GB, you'd have to break HD direct into a bunch of 4GB files. Also the hard drive needs to have its own power supply, the electrical current in a USB connection is only enough for USB flash/"Thumb" drives. The newer Oppo models support NTFS, which has pretty much unlimited file size. Cheers

If you will be sticking with standard DVDs and want good upconversion and HDMI out for later upgrades to a better TV then your absolute best bet is the OPPO 983, now discontinued but still available from amazon 3rd party sellers.OPPO DV-983H 1080p Universal Up-Converting DVD Player with SACD and DVD-Audio

I am using the standard issue macrovision receiver, but a DVR receiver should work also. I was very impressed with how this unit worked. Was very easy to setup and performed as advertised.

You might want to look at the Oppo 83SE. This unit has special electronics for 2 channel stereo. This unit will also play just about any type of disc. Check out the review at hometheatermag.com.

I don't think so. For apt-x receivers, you should look for receivers that are bluetooth 4.0 and/or supports NFC, but don't quite me in that
