It has been done, but it looks like a pain.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-26-2011 06:33 PM                     It actually should not be very difficult because the JSD-80 is more or less pin for pin compatable with the CP-650. Lord only knows why the JSD-100 was not made the exact same way . I have pulled many CP-650's and installed JSD-80's in their place with only having to actually connmect just a very few wires.

This video is decoded into 6 channel audio in the CP650. To use a JSD-80 you also need a SR-D adapter/decoder - the only one is the Dolby DA20 (ok, there's also the obsolete DA10 if any are still operable). Conceivably you could have a CP650SR (no SR-D ability) and also a DA20 but this configuration is unusual. If you do have a DA20 available it is pretty easy to connect to a JSD80. But you would have to have your A and B chain alignments redone, this was done and is saved in the CP650. There's no way to transfer the data to your JSD.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 12-27-2011 08:09 AM                        Of course, it will work perfectly as is in Analogue!
