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?

It comes set up for 2 channel output/downmix and other defaults that will require you to use a monitor to reset them. You will not need it after that.

However, since the unit is so light and small, you can carry it to your current TV, connect it, fix the settings and then carry it to install where you wish.

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.

I got mine as a close-out from Target who generally has good deals on the shelves for this.
