Oppo with a non HDMI receiver? Would the BDP-83 enhance my audio options?

"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.

Hello Joseph..... I hope this info helps: The back of the Sony BDP-S790 is its most interesting part. Here, you'll find not one but two HDMI outputs, an Ethernet network port, an additional USB port, optical and coaxial digital audio, as well as a set of backup composite audio/video connectors. The BDP-S790 has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n built in. Sony 3D Blu-ray player Ports on the rear of the BDP-S790, including two HDMI outputs. The dual HDMI output is an interesting feature. Its advantage is in making it possible to connect an A/V receiver or home theatre system with one HDMI port, and using the other port to send an unadulterated HDMI signal to your TV or home theatre projector. If you've got an A/V receiver that won't pass through 3D video, for example, this is a big selling point.

No but there is a solution. The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

The Receiver for the Onkyo 5100 does not support audio through HDMI,it is pass through only for video.You must use an optical cable for audio.

I am not using a amplifier so you would have to check your manual or the Onkyo site for technical help.

There's no need for a separate audio connection with this receiver. For a nonblu ray source it will accept and process any audio signal over HDMI. For blu ray, you'll need a player that decodes the new formats and outputs PCM.

Contact the seller first then amazon if you get no satisfactory response, I have had less than stellar results but only because I am using it with a non HD receiver.

yes.your receiver must have HD and the use of a HDMI cable is also a must for the high gain

Not with mine. Got to use analog audio desperately. That's disappointing... still, great picture quality, so it is worth it.

Can you use both? my sony reciever has no hdmi ports but has optical audio,is the sound in hd a big difference?

I didnt have an issue with mine. You have it the receiver to automatically detect and send audio? Maybe try a different HDMI?

Only sound will play over the Bluetooth. Video must play over HDMI interface.

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'm sure this is a dumb question. But...I'm looking for the appropriate SD player from Oppo. I'm still working with a 63" Toshi rear projection which has only component inputs. Would the 983 be wasted on that set-up? How 'bout the 980?Thanks!

Model 95 replaced by BDP 105 $1200. Gives you more digital options. 95 allows streaming Netflix, other internet stuff. My only complaint is Oppo is a bit bass shy compared to my Denon.

yes the make addapters, but not all handle sound. Just search hdmi s video.

Hi N Budish: I too have a 360 and my setup is all thru receiver (optical audio). I believe the difference between full and pass thru hdmi-capability is so minimal that the difference in price range is not worth it. I have the audio to vol 30's to 35's and sounds great. Hope that helps!
