I have been using the Oppo DV980H Universal Player for DVD Movies and SACD and DVD-Audio playback for awhile now. I recently picked up a Pioneer Blu-Ray Player and would like to hook them both up at once. My TV has enough HDMI for the video but I have an old school stereo set-up using a separate components with a single processor with with only once set of 5.1 inputs. I do not have any way to hook up HDMI to the stereo system for audio. Could I get away with using Y Cables to feed the single 5.1 inputs from the two players. I would not be playing both at the same time but I'm still worried this could cause problems with things like impedance matching, interface, etc. etc. etc.
I don't want to toast an input or output trying this without first asking for some guidance.
No, I'm not ready to give up my Amps, Preamp, and Processor set-up yet and do an A/V Receiver. I'd probably have to drop big bucks on one of the top-of-the-line models from Denon or Pioneer to come close to the power and quality I have now and I still use this system mostly for two channel music listening with the occasional movie or multi-channel SACD/DVD-Audio disc.
Thanks in advance for any feedback and suggestions.

When I ran low on S/PDIF inputs, I made a switch with one SPDT toggle switch and 3 RCA sockets.
An analog A/V switcher should work - feed the S/PDIF through the yellow (video) sockets.
it wont work I already tried it. y cables do not have a 1 way signal. It passes both ways.I made it work with a simple audio video switcher.I dont think 1 amp will work. I use 2 amps plus the dvda bd players have 4 front & 4 rear rca analog outs. I have all the speakers for both amps but it was not easy to make it all work. what I wanted was to play mch analog with both amps.
mch dvd-a mch sacd & blu-ray concerts rule.
The output of each player will shunt the output of the other. You should get an external switch so that you can select one player or the other.
