Is the only difference between this and the UB820 on the audio side ( like the Oppo 203 vs the 205 ) ? Seems like it.
Barry, it could be an HDMI handshake issue. Is there a way for you to run a test?Try turning the player on first then the preamp. If that doesn't change anything, try powering on the preamp first and then the player.If none of that works, look into the HDMI settings in the player. Maybe you can assign one HDMI output as video and the other for audio only.
That might be the culprit !
Did anyone have any audio problems with the panasonic 9000? The unit’s video wass directly connected to a JVC 9000 and the audio directly to a Krell 707. Of course, we followed the directions in the manual. At first, there was no sound when the audio and video HDMI were both used, but when we removed the video plug we often got sound for just a moment. We changed the wiring, in case it could be that, but we often got sound at the beginning of a disc and then none. Simply, we occasionally get sound on a Dolby D setting or introduction to a disc, but NOTHING on a DTS MA.Anyone have this kind of trouble?
