Can't help, but must be some kind of sync problem, since the sync signal is on the green (typically, it's "standard") and you have to hook it up first to get a pic. With the Oppo connected to the display via component, will you get a pic if you turn the Oppo on first? How about if you start the Oppo playing a disc then turn on the TV? (Just as tests, inconvenient for regular use I know.)
AFAIK all the Oppo BDPs will NOT put out a component video signal if the BD is 1080p/24 (my Oppo doesn't either, not a 93). [Edit: the "stuff" at the beginning of a BD is often not 1080/24, so you may get a bunch of stuff and surely the menu, but then no 1080p/24 feature movie output on component. But better check your manual for this, been a while since I used component with an Oppo BDP and I might be wrong lol, anyway there's "some" analog video it stops outputting as soon as 1080/24 starts, as I found out.] Note that the next gen of BDPs (anybody's, legal ones anyway) most likely won't put out ANY BD video on component. Note that component output for ANY BD since day one could be disabled by the disc author, but very few were. I don't think these last two things are your problem now, just mentioning them as points of interest for the future of playing BD via component, from the perspective of both the new software and new hardware.
