Thanks for the reply.
The 103 is hookup to a Denon 2313 with (2) HDMI cables. Video of the Oppo in the #1 location CD's are played using #2. I set it up that way to retain the individual settings. Noise is coming from the back surround sound speakers, mainly through the tweeters, though minimal, still annoying in between songs. It can’t be a connection problem because playing a video through HDMI #1 or #2 is quiet. No issues. However CD's when paused, I will hear the noise on both HDMI #1 or #2.
I tried ground isolation all my equipment including the Directv coax however the noise is still there. This doesn’t appear to be a grounding issue.
One interesting note is that Turning off Audyssey will eliminate the noise. Don’t want to do that because the stereo sounds better w/ Audyssey on with or without noise.
This probably a Denon isuue know that I am think about it.
I just got both pieces of equipment. Performed Audyssey testing several times. Noise still there.
---- Ok Wayne, I want to fully understand what you're doing, because right now I am confused:
1. The HDMI 1 output of your Oppo 103, where is it going? ...Directly to your TV display, or your Denon receiver?
2. The HDMI 2 output of your Oppo 103, is it going to your Denon 2313 receiver?
3. Are you at the latest firmware in your Oppo 103?
4. When you play a CD inside your Oppo 103, and that Audyssey is enable in your Denon receiver; which audio mode are you selecting?
5. Did you have another Blu-ray player prior to your Oppo 103? ...And were you experimenting that same issue?
6. Your Denon 2313, and also your Oppo 103; as jou just said, are new pieces of equipment.
=> Now, can you do this for me please: (a) Tell me the Audio (HDMI) settings in your Oppo 103. (b) Tell me the audio (HDMI) settings in your Denon 2313.
* 7. You said that if you disable Audyssey, the noise is gone now from your back surrounds.
Alright; do you have Audyssey Dynamic Volume engaged? ...Audyssey Dynamic EQ engaged? If yes, try without (disable both of them).
8. If you are playing stereo CDs through your seven speakers (7.1-channel), which audio mode are you selecting again?
9. In the Video Setup menu of your Oppo 103, what did you select for Dual HDMI Output? ...'Split A/V'?
10. In the Audio Format Setup menu of your Oppo 103, did you select 'Bitstream' for HDMI Audio?
See, I need to know clearly. I am very familar with your Oppo 103 because I use the same one myself.
And your Denon 2313, I got a review right here (Home Theater mag, April 2013 issue), plus I had a few Denon receivers in the past.
Yours has Audyssey MultEQ XT (up to eight positions mic). ...By the way, take all eight mic measurements.
Last, I wanna know which audio mode you use from your Denon receiver when playing CDs.
...Because I will replicate some' similar at my own place, from my Integra pre/pro, and also with Audyssey engaged.
I'm willing to work this one out all the way with you till we find the right solution. Are you a patient person?
Bob
P.S. So far my best guess is that it has some to do with perhaps the settings (audio), from your Denon 2313 receiver. But it's just a guess; we need confirmation, and for that, the more info the better equipped we are.
