Oppo 981 with HDMI I have an Oppo 981 and pass multi channel music (DVD-A and SACD) via HDMI. This source material is 5.1 and can be decoded to 6.1 or 7.1, depending on your set-up, using DPLIIx movie or music or another DSP such as Dolby EX or Neo 6.

I'm thinking of purchasing an Onkyo SR705 and I want to know if I use a HDMI input for DVD-A and SACD from my Oppo 981HD if the signal will be supported by the receiver's bass management system. I currently have a Denon 1803 and use the 6 Analog outputs from the Oppo into an outlaw bass...

705 Question I posted this as a new thread, didn't know there was one running on this receiver. "I'm thinking of purchasing an Onkyo SR705 and I want to know if I use a HDMI input for DVD-A and SACD from my Oppo 981HD if the signal will be supported by the receiver's bass management system...

I use a 2nd zone in my kitchen. I have got around this problem by running additional analog cables (besides the optical) from my DVD player (Don't know if you can do this from your video game). This allows 5.1 (from Comcast Box) while wathcing TV in the family room and music in the kitchen (DVD...

I want to upgrade my current receiver, Denon 1803 80W/chan 7.1. No complaints with this unit. I have a pretty good selection of DVD-A and SACD which I play on an Oppo 981HD along with standard DVDs and CDs. I 've been looking at AV receivers and have been surprised that they are not all offering...

upscaling What are you upscaling to with the Panasonic? Are you matching the native resolution of your display. I have a .Denon 1600 that will output 480i and 480p. I see a big difference in PQ between the 2 settings, 480i looks washed out and grainy. The 480p setting looks much better. I also...

Oppo/ DVD-A A DVD-A disc will play on a standard DVD player over an optical/coax output, but it will not be a high rez signal. It will play as a Dolby Digital recording. The Oppo 980 should support Bass management my 981 does. Set your speakers to small on the oppo and low frequencies below 80...

Another Question I've been monitoring this thread and was wondering if Dolby TrueHD can be run in 5.1 mode through analog out jacks into my receiver. Given that the HD player can decode internally.

The movie is probably not an anamorphic widescreen, you will need to zoom to fill the screen.

up or down Is it better to upconvert or downconvert.

More MB Avliner, I tried all 4 resolutions on the Oppo and saw MB with all. As far as PQ I believe 720P into the Panny looks better than 480P and 1080P and about the same as 1080I. It is hard to make a comparison because of the time lag when you switch outputs. It would be nice to have a direct...

Mb I think what needs to be said is that MB is caused by overly compressed data on DVDs. Some components or combinations of components may enhance MB more than others. Certain scenes in movies with the right combinations of shadow and/or light and/or large mono colored areas may be more prone...

Mb I tried all the HDMI settings 480P through 1080P, MB was still the same. Whats the point of having an upscaling player if you don't upscale.

Mb I have the Oppo 981 set to 720p. In the initial post I stated I hadn't seen MB on any DVDs until I watched the movie Mr Brooks (see the 1st post). I havn't checked out some of the other DVDs mentioned where MB is a problem. Overall I am very happy with the system.

These definitions are from Wikidpedia. Macroblock Macroblock is a term used in video compression, which represents a block of 16 by 16 pixels. Each macroblock contains 4 Y block, 1 Cb block, 1 Cr block (4:2:0). (It also could be represented by 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 YCbCr format). Macroblocks can...

Mb I'm glad I posted this thread. I googled Macroblocking and got thousands of hits. They went back a few years too. Most of the hits were threads in various AV forums with all kinds of opinions and answers. There may be no answer just poorly mastered DVDs. It's interesting that people on this...

I have a Panasonic TH-42PX75U, native rez 720P and an Oppo 981H. I calibrated the Panny with DVE disk. I have had this combo since September and have not seen any Macroblocking. The other night I watched the new Kevin Costner film, "Mr Brooks." It is a very dark movie. In the 2nd scene Kevin...
