What are everyone's recommend video and audio settings when using the BDP-83 and 990 with component and 7.1 analog inputs. I remember with my old blu ray player I needed to set the bass management etc. to OFF on the player and let the 990 do all of the processing. I can't find anything to turn it off on this player. I also noticed the manual stated that using the component video outs limits the player to 1080i but I chose the 1080p setting and the player accepted it.

Check out this link - it outlines the settings I recommend for the BDP-83 paired with the Model 990.

If you set the output to 1080p, the HDMI output will be at 1080p but the component output will be at 1080i.

Hey gonk,

My wife surprised me by ordering the BDP-83 for my birthday (Aug 23). Arriving soon. I guess I will be able to put your advice to work.
Thank again,

James

Gonk,
It's been ages since I've been around these parts. Nice to see you're still around handing out great advice. This is tidbit (and linky) are of particular interest to me. My theater's been down all summer due to a toasted projector. I finally have a new one on the way and I decided to get a new disc player as well. Chose the Oppo. Can't wait til the hardware starts showing up.

Thanks again,
Scott

I think you'll be pleased with the BDP-83, especially with a projector to go with it!

I ordered the BDP-83 to pair with my 990 until the 997 comes out. Is it worth the expense of buying the analog cables vice using optical until the 997 arrives with HDMI. My understanding is that HDMI is as good as analog for SQ and that the Trinnov will only be available through HDMI connections.If I can avoid the extra cables it would be nice.

Yes, get the analog cables. That will give you access to SACD, DVD-Audio, and the lossless audio tracks on Blu-ray. You don't need to spend a ton on the analog cables, but I think they're worth connecting for the benefits they can offer.

Sure, when you have a 997. In the meanwhile, you'll need analog.
