SCOOTERDOG Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 My AC3 Demodulator for my laserdisc player decided to take a nap. Does anyone here have one they would like to part with or know of anyone/place that has any. Mine is a kenwood but they were made by yamaha, pioneer, and marantz. Thanks! scooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2K Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I've got a Sony laserdisk player that I bought about 11 years ago. Haven't used it in a long time. Tried it once a few years aago with my DD receiver and something didn't sound right. Haven't used it since. It sounded great years ago with my pro-logic receiver. What is this RF demodulator thing and do I need one? Sorry for the question, I've generally been out of the hi-fi loop for several years now.

SCOOTERDOG Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 Most LD Players that have DD 5.1 (AC-3) require a seperate RF demodulator in order to playback the DD 5.1 (AC-3) surround tracks. A few top end models had these built in but most needed the outboard unit. Unlike DTS Laserdisc's the DD 5.1 (AC-3) is inbeded in the Right channel analog track hence the reason for this special bugger. If you have a AC-3 Coax output on the back of you laserdisc player then you would need one of these in order to play DD 5.1 (AC-3) laserdisc's. DTS encoded laserdisc's on the other hand can stream the 5.1 digitaly thru the optical out. Hope that helps.... so if you find one of these let me know, I need one[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcribbs Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I do not think anyone is making one currently. So I guess ebay would be the most likely place. The Yamaha apd-1 is the one I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Thanks for the refresh Scoot. I need to get out my manuals and read them. Wouldn't mind watching some of my old LD's again. If I run across a deal on a demoder I'll let you know. I did see a few on E-pay, but they were pricey. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Yeah I have seen a couple on ebay as well starting around 225.00. I am taking mine into the shop tomorrow. If it ends up costing me a hundred bucks or so to have it repaired it's still cheaper then buying one off of ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
