In Reply to: RE: BD player 7.1 analog out... posted by cfraser on November 22, 2009 at 09:19:58
Craig hi,
So, that means I would go straight mch out from the Oppo to the HK520 analog input, regardless of DVD or BD?
Amazing, all my questions and an education on DVD and BDP in one thread.
Also, I've been beating my head trying to get my mac mini 1.66 core duo, to play DVD's and it just can't handle it. Jumpy picture; with some add-ons and tweaks it's gotten to look like streaming video, and won't fill the screen unless I go VGA, which ain't all that great.
Will the Oppo do 24P, 30P etc?
Set screen sizes to fit or something like that without overscan?
I know you have one, which means it's fine for me. Just need the funds.
Thank you,
Regards,
Mitch

When I said "direct analog inputs" above, I meant the mch ones that HK calls "Direct"...just to clarify what I said in case you thought it meant ALL analog inputs.Yes re the scope etc.; that is in fact how the initial test in the SM I mentioned is outlined. They suggest a 0dB input (~0.775V IIRC)and hooking the scope on the speaker outputs (no speakers), volume at -25 to -40 typical.
Yes you'd hook the mch player outputs to the "direct" AVR inputs. Bass management is done in the player, so nice to get one with a few options there if possible.
I got the Oppo BDP-83 mainly for DVD. Everything else it doesn't do any better than other players I have [edit: correction, the 83 upscales non-1080p BD content, which my PS3 doesn't do, so that's "better"...you referred to non-1080p BD content elsewhere]. Via HDMI I mean. It's 2ch analog output is better than my other BD/DVD players, but isn't that great IMO...usable, and I rarely use the analog outs anyway. Yes, it does 24fps for film (BD or DVD) if desired, and 30fps for video.
Edit: I have very little experience using mch analog outputs. I did use them with a Panny DVDP I had, for DVD-A, but don't remember it much. I am pretty sure the Oppo mch outputs would be plenty fine for movies...

Do you have that section of the SM?
I assume the typical sweep method, 8ohm R across the speaker outs.
Crank up the sig. gen to 1KHz. and one should get the same 1KHz/ 0.775V or -3db out?
Or, would that be at the Pre-outs?
BTW, I've not used the internal amps in years. fronts get tubes.
Rears and center get the Rotel RB930ax, highly modified by, yours truly and kicks ass over the internal amps.
I've thought about upgrdes to the HK 520, PS caps and Schottky's but they appear to a royal PITFA to gain access.
They don't mention output levels nor input frequency, 1kHz sounds good. Yes you can measure at preamp outputs (though this is the 520 manual, this section seems written for some models that may not have pre outs) instead of (unloaded) speaker outputs.
These manuals used to be on the HK site. Maybe look around elsewhere. I downloaded this one years ago when you were thinking of getting the 520...it's not like I have one. LOL. Now I have no way to get it to you because I can't email such large docs anymore.
