I tried to use the Panasonic SA-XR57 with the awesome OPPO BD-83 Blu-ray player as a source for A/V activities. At first I thought that inexpensive HDMI cables were to blame for NO signal passing through to my Panny 1080p plasma screen. Not the case. I have to dumb down the BD player to 1080i to make it work. What's the point? It makes no sense to buy a $500 near perfect player to reduce its ability to view a 1080p picture and less than optimum audio. It looks like this SA-XR57 is up for sale. Anyone interested?
