Got the link and did some more experimenting but still no luck.

I went into the Onkyo and turned off the digital audio input (was set to HDMI) and put the multi ch audio input to DVR (which is where the HDMI video signal is set to on the Onkyo) and I got video but no audio.

I tried other settings in the Oppo setup (HATE the Oppo remote; gotta push slow and hard) and tried different settings but no luck.

As I write this, I am listening to Pink Floyd DSOM in SACD via HDMI. smile

I am going to connect just the L and R (from the 8 RCA connection side) to the Aux 1 and listen to a few nice sounding CDs and try to do sme A/B comaprison to my 20 year old Denon DCD-1500 CD player.
