Glad to hear you guys aren't having problems with the analog out. This is the post I was referring to (click on "No Votes" to make it easy to find):

Doug of Cuyahoga Falls, OH No
4/26/2009 Sorry folks. Still a "NO" today due to reasons posted on 04/16 below: Oppo Digital is a class operation. I enjoy working with them to iron out the kinks in what I hope to be a solid addition to my system. They are making definite progress across the board. SACD and DVD-A are great perks. Even with those bugs, knowing they will be fixed, I’d vote “Yes” BUT one issue alone has me saying “No” for right now. I have no “Center Channel Speaker”. The BDP-83 is compatible but looses the Center Soundtrack via analog outs. There is a work-around that then creates lip-sync issues of which has a counter as well. I would like to just play the disc. Oppo is aware and has duplicated the effect. Progress on Oppo’s Engineering team will yield a “Yes” eventually.
