Over the past few months, I have noticed a growing audio problem with my OPPO-203: when playing a Blu-ray disc, the video displays perfectly, but there isn't any audio. (I use the dedicated HDMI audio-only output.) What I had been doing as a consequence was to turn both the OPPO-203 and my Theta Casablanca IV processor/preamp off and then on -- sometimes more than once -- in order to get them to "sync" and, thus, the audio to play. Now, no matter what I try, there isn't any sound. However, if I play a CD on the OPPO-203 and use that same dedicated HDMI audio-only output, the OPPO-203 and the Theta preamp sync and out pours the music.

Does anyone know of a fix for this unusual Blu-ray playback problem?
