Oppo 980H for Quad CD/DVD

[CharlesLovesQuad]

I have a JVC 5456 quad receiver that I enjoy very much. I was thinking about getting an Oppo 980H, to play some quad albums that I have burned on CDs and DVDs. Would I be able to hook the Oppo into the 5456? Originally I had thought about getting a reel to reel player, but the Oppo, which I could get for $80, seems to be a more affordable option.

Snood has a 980 and really do like it - in fact, Oppo is still servicing them for about 50 dollars if need be.

As far as hooking up to JVC ummm dunno

I have an old one that I took out of service when I replaced it with a 103. (I needed to play Blu-Rays, plus it was getting to be noisy when it was spinning a disc--maybe I should take a page out of @Snood's book and get it serviced!)

If you're going to use it for 4-channel playback only, then you should be able to configure the outputs accordingly on the speaker setup menu, but don't take my surmise as gospel. Here's the manual:

That would be incredible if they still service this player. I've being playing it non-stop for the last couple of days, and it's fantastic. I heard that you can turn off video to increase processing power/performance. Have you heard of that?

Didn’t the 980 have an issue with a handful of DVD-A’s jumping ahead a few seconds into the first track? I seem to recall that with happening with Seal - Best Of 1991-2004 just as OPPO contacted me to beta their first BD player and I ended up selling my 980 to my brother in law.
