If you used the Oppo's cable with the cable box and it worked, how about the other way around? have you tried a DVI-DVI cable with a DVI-HDMI connector on the Oppo's side? It will only cost you the price of a DVI-HDMI adapter to test. That's how my 970HD is connected.
Just curious. Did you install the latest firmware on the Oppo? I am wondering if this is some sort of HDCP-related problem.

My cable box is a DVI out so it would not work with the Oppo. I have not tried a DVI-DVI cable with an HDMI adapter. I have a nagging feeling it is the cable (despite being Belkins top of the line HDMI-DVI cable).
Not sure what firmware I have on my Oppo...I am assuming MVer: 05.00.01.07 Batch: 0-1227B since I purchased it in May. Just checked...I have the latest version of the firmware.

Originally posted by Ron Carlton: My cable box is a DVI out so it would not work with the Oppo. I knew that from your earlier post. What I meant was use the same DVI cable you are using for your cable box and just add a DVI-HDMI adapter on the side where you would plug it into the Oppo.

I had another thought. Perhaps it has something to do with HDCP and the order in which I turn everything on? I'll give that a try.

Tried turning everything on in the following order: Outlaw>TV>Oppo Oppo>TV>Outlaw Outlaw>Oppo>TV Oppo>Outlaw>TV TV>Outlaw>Oppo TV>Oppo>Outlaw Nothing! Looks like the last thing to try is getting another HDMI-DVI cable to replace the $80 Belkin. Thank goodness prices have come down, I can get a HDMI-DVI adapter for $5.39 delivered to use with the HDMI cable that came with the Oppo.

try hooking up your DVD player to the 990 DVI #2 input. maybe there is a problem with the DVI #1 input.
just a thought.
Oops, I see you already tried this with no success.

Ron,
Good luck. Hope switching out the cable was the problem. Keep us posted.

Defintely sounds like an HDCP authentication problem.

Here is a response I got from Oppo (at 10:14pm on a Sunday night) : Is your Outlaw receiver HDCP compliant through the DVI interface? If it is not, then you will not get any video playback at all.
Have you tried any other HDMI based content sources on your receiver?
Best Regards,
Customer Service OPPO Digital, Inc.I don't know the answer to the question. Anyone?
