You will get the True HD 7.1 core on your Oppo.If I buy an Atmos Blu-ray like this one, will it play in a downmix to 5.1 on my Oppo? Or will I just get the two channel stereo mix? I don't really know anything about Atmos.

Well, my system can only handle 5.1
All Atmos streams are backwards compatible and will fold down according to your speaker setup. The stream will show as TrueHD 7.1 but that will in turn downmix down to 5.1.

Atmos is designed to play to whatever number of speakers you have. The rear and overhead channels are downmixed to the two surrounds when played on a 5.1 system.

And some AVRs will provide "virtualized" Atmos support, whereby phase tricks are used to make overhead-placed objects sound like they are coming from above, even without height speakers present. YMMV on the effectiveness thereof.
Sorry to give this news about the oppo and Atmos discs,If I buy an Atmos Blu-ray like this one, will it play in a downmix to 5.1 on my Oppo? Or will I just get the two channel stereo mix? I don't really know anything about Atmos.
I purchased the Air 10,000hz Legend Atmos mix on Bluray,
Stuck it in my Oppo BD105 connected to my NAD via HDMI, and:
IT WILL WORK PERFECTLY!!!
He he. As long as it supports Dolby TrueHD Atmos will be supported!
Everything But The Girl, of as we would call them Nothing But The Girl takes me back to the early 2000’s in London and lining up on Notting Hillgate Sunday afternoons with bottles of Moët to join the last party ever weekend, for Ben and Jays Lazy Dogs DJ set in the basement. Oh my, the cool mix of funk and beats was uniquely theirs. This was a legendary place and experience. One still may be buzzing from seing Sistef Bliss the night before at the Gallery, or Camden Palace, or a Groove Amanda DJ set, or Frantic party. But ever weekend would close out with Ben (Watt) and Jay.Everything But the Girl will release their first album in 23 years, Fuse, on April 23rd. There will be a CD/Blu-ray option with an Atmos mix. SDE write-up here.
Last summer (2022) I took my son 15 to see the Eagles in Hyde Park, and we went to visit the old Lazy Dog club, snuck my son into see a band in the club that his mum and dad tore up in 2000.
And now we have another Everything But The Girl album. It’s ordered. Thanks for this post!
Check these out, they are awesome mixes from Ben & Jay:
I have the older BDP-83 and I'm using the analog outputs. So it might not be as compatible as yours.
The analog systems wont do Atmos as there is no onboard Atmos decoder.
The BDP-83 will decode the Dolby TrueHD 7.1 core stream internally and pass it over the analog outputs. If you want 5.1 rather than 7.1, there should be a screen in the settings menu where you select the # of speakers in your setup and it will downmix accordingly.
That must have been fun. What sort of venue was it? I hope it was small and intimate for you, but large and high sales for them. Lol
I’ve only seen Ben in his Lazy Dog days as a DJ in Notting Hill. Such fond memories, I loved those Lazy Dog Sundays.
Just received notice that Fuse arrives tomorrow!
Met them at a signing at Tower Records (RIP) on Clark Street in Chicago.
Had tix for the following night at the Vic in Chicago. I tried to get tix several weeks before. Sold out! Flew back from a business trip on Friday and got a message from the Vic to stop by and p/u tix. Fourth row center. Nice to have friends!
Signing was Saturday. Concert was Sunday.
Ben spent 45 minutes-ish DJ'ing before concert. It was '98, Walking

tour.
Great Concert and wonderful people. Tracey and Ben couldn't have been nicer! Told Ben my next door neighbor was a ringer for him. Ben responded, "I feel sorry for the poor guy." Ben was recovering from some serious health issues at the time.

You lived in Chicago? The first time I went there was on a stop over, I had to choose Chicago or NYC and I choose Chicago just so I could go see Buddy Guys Blues Hall 23rd Dec 96. It was dead, raining and cold. My buddy John and I sat in there with just one other couple, Fingers McCormick played, there were more people on stage then us 4 off stage, then Buddy Guy and his wife came sat next to us and we hung all night. They were so so kind. Down to earth. Thanks Linda for reminding me of that memory. My dear friend John and I chasing our music dreams and deep powder in Fernie, BC.
there's many a good tune from an old Black lady!!!
