I've gotten my 103 tied in a knot that I don't know how to get it out of. When I turn it on, the front display says that the Blu-ray disk is playing but the AV Amp/Projector say "HDMI 1 Not Supported H: -- --kHz V: -- --kHz".

The HDMI is connected to my receiver out of HDMI 1 on the back of the Oppo to HDMI 1 of the amp and HDMI 1 of the projector. I reset the DVD to region 0 and blu-ray to Region A. I tried a brand new HDMI cable, and I plugged my Roku into that input on my AV receiver and it works fine. I've determined that the Oppo is putting out some weird kind of signal my amp and projector can't deal with.

I can't see any of the menus when I push the setup menu button on the remote. I think that it is my projector saying it doesn't recognize the signal the Oppo is putting out. Can anyone tell me what I have set wrong? thanks!

Is there a way to force factory reset without accessing the screens? I'm guessing it somehow got into 4k mode or PAL or something.

Oppo Support helped me fix it quickly. In case anyone else runs into a problem like this...

Turn the player off with no disk inside.
Power it up and wait for it to day "NO DISK"
Press the resolution button until the front display says "DIRECT"
Insert a DVD (not a blu-ray). It should start playing.
Go straight to the setup menu and select NTSC again. (even if it is already selected)
Play the DVD for ten seconds or so, and eject. It will play blu-rays fine now.

If the DVD doesn't work. Try the same thing with a blu-ray disk. (The DVD worked like a charm for me.)

Apparently, the output of the player changed to PAL, even though it wasn't set to do that.

Thanks, Oppo!
