Well my wait for an OPPO BD player should be over in the next week or so. I took up OPPO's invitation to order the BDP-83 and their site says it will ship sometime next week. I'm really looking forward to the enhanced video and audio of BluRay and the video enhancement of SD-DVDs. I'm one of the folks that sees this OPPO player as a way to continue using my 990 pre/pro and still enjoy the benefits of the new audio formats and advanced video processing.

Now the nitty gritty...Do any of the Outlaws who beta tested the BPD-83 have any specific tips/recommendations for setting up the 83's analog audio with a 990? Are there any bass management quirks to worry about? On the video front I have a Pioneer 5080 Kuro plasma (768p with the ability to receive 1080p 24fps signal); how does the 83's auto resolution work?
