Oppo 980H setup and use

I am considering buying an OPPO 980H for audio purposes exclusively because I do not have a TV, nor do I intend on getting one. However, I have heard that you have to set it up on the TV screen and you cannot do it otherwise. Is this true, or can I still set it up without a TV?

If you plan on using the Oppo as a transport, be aware that the default setting for the coax digital output is RAW. You'll need to use the menu setting to change it to PCM if you plan to use an external DAC.

Just a suggestion for those looking for a cheap TV set to use as a monitor.

Check your local Craigslist, under the Electronics category. Here in the NE Ohio area there are 13" sets for sale for $20 or less every day. Just be sure it has at least one RCA video in jack (most do).

Peter_s: I wish someone would manufacture a small, cheap, LCD monitor that could be used just for this purpose!

I use a 5" LCD derived from the automobile A/V lines. Cost me $60.

Kal - thanks, that's just what I was wondering about. Could you please elaborate. A link, a few key words, or more info about what will/won't work would be great.

Thanks, Peter

If you have a computer, you could use that with an interface. Manny available. I would come in handy for other things. Or buy one at Compusa and then take it back .
