Hi everyone.
I know the title seems a bit nefarious but this question is really about being able to view the menu of music Blu-ray, DVD-A and SACD's on a screen other than a HDCP complaint TV.
I use my Oppo BDP103 purely for surround music listening. Consequently I don't have TV/monitor connected to my player. This was't a problem when playing SACDs because they just play in multi channel automatically. My grief started when I started buying music Blu rays and DVD-A. Damn. Do you think I could get them to play? Not really. The DVD-A's were easier to guess my way through the remote and get something going but sometimes I just gave up and ejected. I still have a couple of discs I haven't listened to because of this.
What I figures I could do is get a small 7" monitor with an HDMI in and use that for menu searching. The problem is that these 7" monitors were really meant for DSLRs or the back of car head rests. Another option was a HDMI-USB game capture dongle that is used to view video game consoles on your computer.
I'm sure someone - albeit a very few - have this issue and must have developed a solution.
Thanks for your time,
Mitch
