Has anybody here had any experience using a JSD 80-L cinema processor. One of the theaters I'm associated with is considering installing one during an "upgrade" from an old mono sound system. Their budget is pretty tight and this unit is what the sound guys proposed because they can get one reasonably priced. It's described as "A state of the art digital signal processing decoder for 35mm analogue optical sound tracks..." They'd be using it in conjunction with a Dolby DA 20 digital processor.

At this point, I'm concerned more about overall reliability than actual specs, since I'll be the one dealing with any problems that pop up later. Thanks!

In the budget realm for new it has no equal... As B-Chain processor it is superlative!
