On your 1090, under the video 2 (optical) connection, there are two more connections: video 3 and 4. Next to one is "AC-3 DIGITAL IN". Your Oppo has a coax digital out. Have you tried running a coax from the Oppo to one of the receiver inputs and then using the optical out on the tv to the Kenwood?

Both connections are digital, so it shouldn't make any difference which you use.
