RE: BD player 7.1 analog out...mac mini

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...
