I don’t think the analog output is very high on Oppo stuff. My 205 when set to full has significantly less output than my EAR set at about 2/3 full volume. I don’t think it matters. And if it is shutting down, it sounds like you might have some type of short in your wiring that is triggering a protection circuit. I would disconnect and reconnect your cables, making sure everything is where is should be and that the connections aren't loose or faulty.
some one tell me.........
I have two cd players, an old rotel 975 that I only use once In a while, due to it being on its last legs. I have it plugged into my aux/ph section of my cj pv12, I also have an new oppo udp 203 that I play in the cd section of the preamp. I just happen to play the rotel last night to hear what glorious sounds like for a change. I quickly notice that I had to turn the volume down quite a bit. I play the oppo at about 2 oclock and the rotel at about 11 oclock. is this normal, such a big difference in sound/volume. am I not doing something right on the oppo, it does the same thing when I'm playing movies. last does anyone know of a cd player that sounds like the old rotel, I was told not to go over the 1072-1075 I think line. and whats up with oppo shutting down...........
