doing the hdcp dance?

Posted by Jim Pearce on December 16, 2016 at 07:26:04:
I'll be installing a new LG 55" B6 4K oled TV in my largely analog based 5.1 system early in the new year. I bought the Oppo BDP-95 precisely to mate with my older non-HDMI plasma screen using component output, and while everything is working out fine I want the higher quality video, especially with DVDs. I'm not concerned with 4K content, at least until the BDP-205 comes out.

The workaround here is that my Anthem AVM 20 is non-HDMI - for the most part I'll be using analog 5.1 output from the Oppo along with analog bass management from an Outlaw Audio ICBM-1 - so the HDMI connection will be from the Oppo to the LG. In effect my 5.1 music system will be a big soundbar.

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking I shouldn't connect the component video to the LG at all - and should reset my AVM 20 sources not to look for it. This should be fine as I need composite input to view the menu on the old AVM 20 anyway, and the LG can handle only one of either.

Other than the obvious issue that I'll have to switch video source manually on the TV - between the Oppo and Fibe TV - does anyone see any room for hdcp conflict here?
