Are you passing the multi-channel on the HDMI? If so, then make sure your player is set to output at least 720p on the video side (it actually happened to me by accident yesterday and I wasted a good hour on this!). Hi-res multi-channel is passed alongside the video, so you need a higher setting to accomodate the signals.

If the audio is passed through analog, check the "down-mix" section of the Oppo; you will probably also need to setup an "alternate audio" source in the Denon (I don't have one, so I am not certain how they handle multiple audio sources for one video feed).

M80s are great, aren't they? \:\)
