So what happens when you play the DVD and then manually "Just" turn off the projector...what happens to the rest of the equipment?

Yeah, what exactly does it do when you're trying to play an audio CD without the projector on? Is it giving you an error message or anything? There's no reason why any HDMI handshaking should need to go on to play back audio CDs, but that's what it makes me think of, since my HD DVD player would give me an error if I changed video input on the TV or turned off the TV during playback. However, this only affected HD DVD playback, since only they needed the HDMI connection to be complete. It's conceiveable that either the OPPO or the Denon want both the display and the player to have that connection intact at high-def resolutions, though? Try changing the resolution on the player to 480 and see if you can listen to CDs without the projector on, perhaps. I doubt that it's it, but it's worth a shot. Of course it's not a solution to the problem, but at least you'd know what the problem is. Just a shot in the dark!

What else you could try is have an Optical from the Oppo to the receiver's "CD optical in" on the Denon.

problem fixed, the thing is i don't understand why when the oppo and receiver will play sacd ect through hdmi cable why can't it play a regular cd through hdmi? a friend gave me some rca cables to run between the oppo and receiver. why can't you just play a cd through hdmi with the projecter off? that is what i don't understand.
thanks again

In my opinion running RCA cables is not a fix, it's a work around. It bugs the hell out of me when I can't get something to work. I have an Oppo 980H connected to my Denon 3808CI and I have no problems playing audio CDs, but I have my Denon connected to a TV not a projector.
Check these settings on the Audio Setup Page on the Oppo:
Digital Output should be set to Raw HDMI Audio should be set to Auto SACD Output should be set to DSD

It must be the handhsake that HDMI requires, without the return signal the oppo won't send a signal, I guess.

I have a Denon 2807 and Oppo 981 which also seem to have some HDMI handshake issues. The Oppo is hooked up to the Denon which is hooked up to the TV all with HDMI. I still get audio when playing a CD or DVD when the TV is turned off. However, if I change the TV input to or from HDMI while something is playing the audio drops out for a second like it’s renegotiating the exchange.

yeah i think jakewash has it right, it has to be a hankshake issue. there should be a setting to get rid of it, so everything can be hdmi and less cords and wires.
