Even if you can turn off the video, you have to use the menus to choose audio and other settings before you play the disk.

My Trudeau-bashing sig line cause too many problems, so I guess I will go back to ridiculing the portly orange fella.

You turn the video off after setting the menu, and you can turn the video back on with the same button.

  Yes, but the original poster asked if he would need a monitor to play audio Blu-ray disks ... and he will need one.

    So what i'm wondering now is whether you can use the HDMI out for video to connect to my MB Pro, and the coax out to a dac. I don't know if they both can be used at the same time or not. I did see a Sony X800m2 that has separate HDMI outputs for video and audio, and a coax output as well. It also plays pretty much everything out there. Only $250, so not terribly priced. Can't test the one I have at the moment because the system isn't set up in the right spot, too much to disconnect everything!
    
    Otherwise I'll check out the Goodwills (ours around her are usually picked over) or one of the small ones on Amazon > $100 or so.

      I use an HDMI cable from my OPPO BDP-103 to a Monoprice HDMI selector/de-imbedder that sends a coaxial digital output to my Bryston DAC, which indicates that it is receiving the maximum resolution on the disk. The Monoprice unit also sends the HDMI signal to my monitor to control menus.
