Yes. I think if you want the Oppo to do all the processing for more than 2 external sources, you'll need a switcher. Should be pretty straight forward from there.
Sources to switcher. Switcher to Oppo. Then HDMI video output straight to TV. Oppo analog outs to Sony preamp inputs.
From there it's just a matter of managing all the ins and outs and remotes. A Logitech remote may be in order if you don't have one already.
Yep, my 'ol Sony AVR doesn't do 3D(I have yet to watch a 3D flick and will probably only do so once as I think it is gimmicky, though I have to reserve judgement at this point, I digress) or 4K(don't have a 4k display...) so bypassing it is optimal. With a HDMI switch I will be able to bypass the Sony AVR completely since I have powered speakers at the moment.
As far as the remote goes, I'm working on setting up IRule...again. Bad thing with iRule is that when you swap a component it can be a PITA. I also have an old logitech universal that the volume up has perished.
I made a quick effort to test the BDP105 with iRule IP control last night and I am having issues getting iRule to work with the oppo via IP.
