"(Yamaha line level outputs?)"

Well, preamp level outputs is probably a better description. The receiver, via its speaker connections, will power your LS, RS and, if you get one, C speakers. If you don't get a C speaker, your DVD/Blu-ray player can be given this info and put the C info into the L and R channels. The L and R speaker outputs would not be hooked up on the receiver. The way you would get the L and R channels to play would be to send these two channels, via the preamp outputs on the receiver, to a line level input (an unused L/R RCA input) on your 2-channel gear.

When using the DVD/Blu-ray player, you simply select the input on your 2-channel gear that corresponds to the L/R feed from the receiver. This way, the total system volume, when watching a movie, would be controlled by the receiver's volume knob. The volume control on your 2-channel gear will need to be set at a certain level when you want to watch a movie (when there's no movie, just twist away). The easiest way to do it is to just turn the volume knob on your 2-channel gear to where you normally listen to music -- this will now be your "movie" watching setting. In order to have the proper volume coming from all of the speakers, you will calibrate the system for equal SPL from the speakers using an SPL meter and a calibration disc (don't worry, as none of this will affect your 2-channel listening).

"(how would this for instance integrate into an Oppo 93?)"

Well, one way to do it is to feed the oppo's multichannel analog outputs to the receiver's multichannel analog inputs. What channels get fed to the receiver will depend on how many speakers you end up with. For the ones you don't have (let's just say a C, SBL and SBR -- that's what oppo calls them), the oppo will be told to fold them into the appropriate channels.

Is the oppo BDP-93 part of the $2k?

If yes, why oppo?

Do you have a television picked out or are you still looking?

If you're still looking, is there a reason for 46"?
