The receiver may behave differently with an external source than its own internal tones, which is why you need to run external Test Tones to ensure that the trim levels are adjusted properly.

What I'm saying is that the Onkyo does run external tones through all 5.1. I'm assuming the feature on the OPPO does the same thing. The Onkyo is very versatile in allowing for adjustments in each speaker as it relates to trim level and overall tone. I set my rear surrounds a couple of clicks louder than my front left and right, and I set my center a click louder than my fronts. Does the OPPO function this way too? If so, then it's probably a redundant feature. Unless I'm missing something here.

No, they aren't the same. I believe the test tones for the Oppo are only for the analog outputs. They are used to level match the speakers when using the analog inputs of your receiver if that's how your Oppo is connected to it. If you are running HDMI then you will not need to worry about the entire speaker setup process in the Oppo itself. That setup has no affect on the HDMI outputs.

I am using 45 feet of the Series 1 and it works great with all my sources. 20 feet is not really that long even for the el-cheapo cables one can buy in the stores. I'd check your connections and check your HDMI end-connectors in particular as they are prone to breakage especially with the heavier HDMI cables.

Something is getting to the projector - the screen changes from background blue to black - but no video. Will do some more troubleshooting this weekend. Thanks to all for the advice.

I tried to access some content from Jack White's channel and it wouldn't find anything in the search. If I search it on my computer, everything comes up. So then I tried subscribing to the channel and logging in on the Oppo. Once I did this, the subscribed channels show up, but the videos will not play. It keeps telling me that the video is unavailable even though I can play it fine on the computer. Does anyone have any suggestions? Tried the same thing with Puscifer's channel (another music group) and didn't have any better luck. Just wondering why I can't seem to play all of the content that is available on the computer on the Oppo.

Can someone tell me how to play SACD's that's ripped to WAV (with CUE file) and also FLAC files?

What surround settings should I have on my receiver?

If you do decide to buy a different cable, you might want to consider the Monoprice cables too. Just make sure you get the hi-speed versions.

My Mediasonic drive enclosure has been flawless since day 1.

No such workaround for DVD.

I have a Wadia DAC and connect it by rca to bnc cable. And streaming? Well besides Netflix and Vudu, I have no use for all those other apps, just fluff to me. I do hope in the future my 93 will be allowed to stream 1080p like quality. The S790 is like all Sony (except PS3), Pannys, LG, Samsungs, etc.. are throw away players. No quality what so ever, all plastic as mentioned. I will keep my 93 and will send back the false pretender.

Until now I have used the previous Oppo BDP-83 blu ray player. All the commands were programmed into my RTI universal remote control system. I've bought the new BDP-93 and I'm hoping it uses most of the same commands.

In other words: will the old BDP-83 remote control work most of the new BDP-93? If so, I assume the commands in my RTI remote will work with my new BDP-93. (Obviously needing some additions for 3D commands I suppose).

Thanks.
