[MRIinIT]

Thank you guys. Going to get rca cables to do that Duncan.

HDMI Connections

Also, if you're running the HDMI cable into your Onkyo receiver, make sure you have the proper input selected for the Onkyo.

 

[MRIinIT]

My hdmi connections are correct.

 

[MRIinIT]

I have the onkyo selected for dvd. Which is where the oppo is plugged into on the rec.

 

[Kal Rubinson]

It also said the recieveer would accepy DS over network or USB. Never said anything about HDMI

It does list DSD in the specs for HDMI input.

 

[Kal Rubinson]

Where would head phones go. Don’t see a headphone jack

There is a headphone jack on the front of the Oppo and on the front of the Onkyo.

Do you have a disc in the Oppo? If so, take it out as the presence of a loaded disc severely limits the setup options.

The 105 has a headphone amp and jack. The 103 does not.

Ah. I have only my 105 here and the 103 is in a different state (as I am, too, apparently).

If it was me, I'd test the analog outputs from the Oppo into a different playback device (if your receiver has no RCA analog inputs at all), to find out if the Oppo is playing properly, if so, then look at HDMI compatibility/options. I have a 93 but only have used analog outs, similar, at work we've setup 103 units but again using analog output to avoid HDMI compatibility issues down the line. I understand there are reasons to use HDMI (mostly because manufacturers are eliminating analog inputs on receivers!) such as room correction DSP, and video pass-through.

 

[MRIinIT]

So I’m ordering some rca cables from Amazon to try this out. Kal I have had a disc in the player most of the time while trying out diff settings. I’ve bypass the Receiver to just the tv but still with the hdmi cable two diff in fact. Would a software update help?

 

[Kal Rubinson]

Remove the disc. That's why some of the options are greyed out.

Would a software update help?

Unlikely. Do you have the manual?

 

[MRIinIT]

Heres my latest settings.

 

[MRIinIT]

No Manuel but using it online.

 

[MRIinIT]

I can fix the purple color.

Wondered if the 'Split A/V' setting actually segregates video and audio to HDMI 1 and 2 respectively.

Turns out it's supposed to, but only if you're using both HDMI outputs, this is what the manual says:

"2. Dual HDMI Output: Allows you to select the output mode when both HDMI Output ports are in use. If only one HDMI Output is active, this selection will not apply. [So I guess this isn' your problem since you're only using one output?]
x Split A/V (recommended) – Use HDMI 1 OUT as the dedicated video output port and HDMI 2 OUT as the dedicated audio output port. Th is setting will ensure the best possible picture quality and the highest possible audio resolution.
x Dual Display – Send digital audio and video signals to both HDMI Outputs simultaneously. This setting is only recommended when two HDMI displays are required, since the surround sound audio signal may be down-mixed to stereo and the original audio quality may be lost."

Still might want to try changing this setting to 'Dual Display' and see if your HDMI audio suddenly works.

Also, unless your receiver already decodes HDCD, your might as well turn HDCD decoding on and get whatever benefit it provides- HDCD coded CDs are not always clearly labeled. This assumes you ever get audio output from the player...

I have t he same setup as you...an Oppo 103 & an Onkyo TX-NR656.
OK whichever input on the Onkyo you are u sing (I suggest BD/DVD) set the Onkyo for that input then go into the Onkyo's setup.
Go to Source / Input, I think, and make sure it is set for HDMI.
That's all I got right now.

 

[mandrix]

As an aside, only 3 inputs on the Onkyo are HDCP compliant. (BD/DVD is one of them).

Analog outs? Don’t see it back there. My speakers are wired into my onkyo. No banana plugs for oppo

the analog outs are the RCA hook ups which would go to your analog inputs on your amp. They are the “holes” on the back of your 103 next to the hdmi outputs In your photo.
