One of the things you can try with the OppO is to set the speaker distances all as long as it will let you set them. This will reduce the delay through the dsp section of the player to the absolute minimum.

Hi Tom - Yes.
In our case, the cable box is connected to the HDMI 2 input on the TV, while ARC is on HDMI 3 and is physically connected to the HDMI output on the OPPO 205. When using the cable box, the OPPO input is set to "ARC on HDMI OUT", and all sound is processed thru the OPPO. When a Blu-ray or UHD disk is played, the TV input is set to HDMI 3, so using the same physical HDMI cable as used for ARC. (this is easier to draw than say)

Sweet! That would be the simplest connection for the OP.

Thanks to everyone for the help with this issue.
1. Any benefit from routing satellite signal thru Oppo 205 to improve video? Samsung says No...connect satellite directly to tv. Oppo's manual says to connect satellite to Oppo's HDMI IN and output HDMI to tv...to take advantage of the Oppo 205's superior video processing? 2. Given that this system, McIntosh C2200, is 2-channel...is there any advantage of receiving audio from HDMI eARC...over optical audio output from tv? In a surround system, the advantage is obvious. 3. Assuming I figure out lip sync issue, is there any noticeable audio advantage of using Oppo as a dac, then xlr out to C2200....vs....rca output of satellite straight to C2200? I'm sure the processing is better in Oppo, but noticeable in 2-channel? Isn't the most direct audio pathway usually the best? 4. Thanks Ivan. If I go the route of Alchemy D2L, can't find a source to purchase? . Last edited by dpgstereo; 12-11-2020 at 12:43 PM. |

Ordered the free software update disc from Oppo yesterday. Shipped out quick, should see it in a couple of days.
I downloaded the Oppo app for my iPhone and it wouldn't work? Hopefully, the update will fix issue? Anyone tried the Oppo app to remote control dvd player? . |

Was finally able to update software on my Oppo 205, via wifi...then, of course the update CD shows up the very next day. For some reason it wouldn't update when first connected to wifi? Anyway, running current update.
Finally got HDMI 3 eARC to play audio from Samsung tv. For some reason the Oppo will automatically mute when first connected (only sometimes)? Sometimes Samsung tv will automatically default to...TV Speakers... as audio output? Not always? Unfortunately, still can't sync audio and video? I've tried adjusting audio delay on both tv and Oppo. Also, as suggested...set speaker distance to max (60') in Oppo setup. Doesn't matter if I'm streaming through tv or watching satellite and choose Optical or HDMI eARC...same amount of sync issue. When watching satellite tv (audio from satellite box via RCA's to C2200) or if playing a dvd in Oppo...no audio sync issues. Only when I use tv as audio source, do I get sync issue? Sync is still a little off, adding delay will make it worst. Amount of delay is the same for Optical and HDMI eARC? Don't hear a difference in sound quality comparing Optical vs. HDMI eARC...maybe because I'm down mixing to 2-channel stereo? I have a second 75" Samsung in living room (2018 model, 8 Series), using a MX135, with digital inputs (no HDMI)...still have same audio sync issue when getting audio from tv. In this case I'm using Optical out of tv to Optical input of MX135. Same amount of delay? I haven't tried adjusting to maximum speaker distance in setup of MX135...wouldn't that effect when I'm not using tv as sound source? Only solution I haven't tried is, the audio delay device like Ivan suggested, Alchemy D2L? However I can't find one available to purchase? Seems to be an issue 10-15 years ago for most? I realize my gear is a little outdated..doesn't make financial since to update. There has to be a workaround? . |

Anyone using or tried the Oppo app? Oppo UDP-20X 2018 app. Claims to be easy/useful if using Oppo 205. I can't get it to connect to my Oppo. I've tried..automatic setup...and tried manually setting it up using IP address? Will not connect or says "No player is found.." Strange thing is.... I've follow setup procedures several times...everything works as supposed to, during setup...until it searches for new device...I get same error. However, if I'm not in the setup mode, of Oppo 205 (but Oppo is powered On)...and I try to open the app...the app will briefly open, on my iPhone 10, then will automatically close out..like I exited the app. I've tried deleting and reinstalling app 3 times. Same issue. . |
