Oppo UDP205 connection

Since you have no AVR, are you trying to use the OPPO as an amplifier? I'm unclear as to your goal.

I think the HDMI cable carries all of the audio signals along with the video. Connecting the analog cables would seem redundant.

OPPOs are great units. Too bad they don't support them any longer.
 
The Oppo is hooked up directly to my Acoustat Monitor 3 and HD TV (the Acoustat amps do not have a HDMI out). No pre amp. The Oppo itself acts as the pre. My query was whether the Oppo automatically passes the signal to the analogue RCAs. It does.
