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.

Have you upgraded the firmware to the most current release? (August 8, 2008)

I suggest you check Oppo's WEB site and at least give it a shot. You can find the free download under "Customer Service", "Support" and then find the 981 on the list. It will certainly fix a few of the issues related to the 981. I couldnt get SACD to work at al until I did the upgrade.

It works perfectly now ...

Hope this helps,

Mike

I have a handshake issue with my Pioneer blue-ray/Integra AVR/Sony projector. Sounds like Onkyo (or their Integra kin) is emerging as the common link here in HDMI handshake problems.

Thanks everyone!

Horseface - I bought the Oppo from a friend. It was only a month old, and he bought it late 2008, so I'm assuming it's got the latest upgrades. I'll check to be sure though. Thanks.
