Thank you gonk! I have the 970 and I see that I may need to experiment with my settings a bit more.
Have you had a chance to play around with the June 11 Beta firmware? I know you have a true Beta firmware, but wondering if there is a work around to get my lfe back. My understanding is that it resets after a power cycle, but the trim still reads +10. I was told that the work around is to simply work the trim on the same powercyle that you watch a movie, but I haven't had luck with that.
Thanks for all that you contribute here!

Thanks gonk. Your guide means so far I managed to stumble through everything on my own! I do have a question you do not address.
Until now I have used the 990's full bass management for all sources with speakers set to small and crossed over. Now with the BDP-83 I have been trying out the stereo analog output from the BDP-83 to the 990's CD input and setting it to analog input and BYPASS when playing CDs and 2-channel programs on DVD-A and SACD. As you know if the sub is turned on, both the front speakers and the sub get full range signals when the 990 is set to BYPASS. This "double bass" is clearly noticeable when I switch to the digital coax line from the BDP-83 which does all the bass management properly.
When the 990 is set to BYPASS do the front and sub channel calibration levels in the 990 set-up have any effect or are those bypassed too? What about the 990's 2-ch sub trim in BYPASS?

Thanks Gonk!
The only thing I am stuck on is trying to match the volume of the sub through the 7.1 analog into my 970 so the applied settings on the SMS-1 are right...

Secrets has just posted its benchmark review of the BDP-83. Great for HDMI, a little less effusive if using component, but as they note, "OPPO has an out-of-the-ballpark grand slam home run. Highly Recommended." http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/blu-ray-players/647-oppo-bdp-83-blu-ray-player.html

Just saw this today on AVS: Beginning in 2010, Blu-ray players must be configured to allow one full-resolution copy. Dubbed “managed copy,” the requirement has long been planned for the Blu-ray format, but has only just been finalized by the Advanced Access Content System License Administrator, a consortium of studios, hardware manufacturers and technology companies that licenses the AACS copy protection used on Blu-ray Discs. Managed copies can be made to recordable Blu-ray or DVD discs, as a download to a Windows Media DRM-compatible portable player or hard drive. Unfortunately none of the current batch of Blu-ray players or recorders have the required electronics to allow this. Manufacturers aren't expected to have this feature added to players until mid-2010. Anyone know how AACS licensing might affect this being a firmware update in the future? In any case, the language above (if true and accurate) seems to indicate that storage on media servers would be a possibility.
