Question - would a dvd player like the cambridge audio DVD86 pitcutred below allow me to do both with one device? Plug a scart or hdmi into the telly for dvds and run some audio cables into the amp for cds?
DVDs will play through telly speakers as long as amp turned off. CDs will play though amp when thats turned on?
Short answer is yes. I’ve got the DVD89 and use it to do exactly that.
However, my pal used to work for whoever it was who made those and I seem to remember one of the earlier ones (which might have been the DVD85, 86 or 87) was a bit glitchy. I’ll find out which one it was 👍
One great thing about these players is they’re all practically the same inside. Mine started to struggle to track certain discs properly and then the tray mechanism failed. I picked up an earlier (glitchy) player cheap and simply swapped the drive unit into mine.

Confirmation from my pal:
DVD 86 was shit. DVD 89 [and on] was good. The older generation of 540D, dvd53, 57 and 59 all had a short lifespan so are highly unlikely to still be working.
The 650BD was the first Blu Ray player, that and the other Blu Ray players were all very good indeed
And apparently the Blu Ray players also have all the audio outs on the back, but probably won’t have SCART 👍

Got a question for the hive mind.
I'm building a TV/audio bench type thing for our living room. I'm a streaming convert, though my partner in particular still likes to stick a cd on and has a dvd collection they refuse to part with. Actual usage of both mediums is rare. We currently have a dvd player which plays through the tv and cd player that plays through an amp/speakers.
