I had the same prolem with an Onkyo 805. Could not listen to cds or sacds via a Sony 550 blu-player and pioneer dv-58 dvd player without the my LCD being on. Onkyo was of no help even though the problem was almost surely with the 805 avr. My only solution was to use the analog MC outputs on the blu-ray/dvd players to the Onkyo 805 analog MC inputs.
Oppo-Integra handshake problem
My Oppo 981 has no problem playing multi-ch SACD or DVD-A discs thru my Integra 8.8 AVR. . .as long as my Mitsubishi DLP RPTV is turned on. If the tv is off, the Integra's display shows "no signal" and no music is heard. All 3 components are connected using HDMI 1.3a cables. Needless to say, I'd rather not have to power up the 73" TV just to listen to music.
Anyone else had this problem? If so, what's the fix?
Oppo says it's a firmware problem with the Integra; Integra is impossible to reach via email. Very poor customer service.
Thanks to anyone who can provide some input or suggestions.
