Yes, you can set up the OPPO player with just the HDMI output.

Second that. That is how my Oppo 970 is connected to my Mitsubishi DLP.

I don't think any DVD player that I've owned has allowed player setup via the front panel - from the old Panasonic A310 I bought back in November '98 up through my OPPO's, they've all handled it onscreen exclusively. Of course, it's a somewhat different situation, since a DVD player would typically be connected to a display right from the get-go (players used in purely audio systems being an obvious exception, but also an exception that player manufacturers don't design for).

As receivers and surround processors get more and more functionality pushed into them, it's going to become more and more necessary to use the OSD to configure them. [/b]
Gonk,

Thanks for the clarification. What I meant to convey was that there are some DVD players where the basic setups can be accessed from their one-line displays, SACD,DVD-A, two-channel, multi-channel modes but definitely not all the submenus such as bass management, language or subtitle modes where a monitor definitely will be needed. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused in my previous post.
