Thanks for the replies.

I picked up a couple new splitters from Radio Shack. Still had the same problem. I noticed this time around when I turn the TV on the audio from the reciever would get louder. So, something is just not right.

It is not an issue anymore. I did a firmware upgrade to the Oppo player and now there is no more audio delay when 1st selecting or starting to play something over HDMI. Now that I can use HDMI the way I want it frees up the analog audio ports to go straight to the reciever.
