I have one of these. My plan was to swap in CLD-3030 power supply, but they are not compatible (CLD-99S runs power straight out of transformer to audio section). I eventually want to pull it and see if I can change windings.
I would buy the nicest step-down transformer that is within your budget. |

With my limited knowledge of LD players, no.
The only way to get AC3 5.1 is via an AC3RF out.
DTS could be played back via the optical cables to to a receiver that decoded the signal.

They intentionally left it out of the players because back then the license for Dolby Digital was more expensive. They don’t have to pay Dolby for a signal that isn’t usable Dolby so the player only outputs a section of the raw FR signal and has no Dolby logos on it. The license fee is applied to the de-modulator or receiver with the demod built in.
Cost was the biggest thing holding back LD for its entire left. Adding $11 to the BOM for a feature most users never even heard of didn’t sound good to them. Instead they put all that capability in outboard gear which meant that only people who wanted and could use 5.1 would be paying for it. It was a good solution for the time, very smart. |

The Yamaha AFD-1 RF demodulator is small enough that it should fit inside most LD players except a few tightly packed high end player.
-Remove the AFD-1 circuit board from its chassis to reduce its footprint. Screw it somewhere empty inside the LD player.
It definitely can be done and here once again is an example of one.....

This is the board that benedictus used to offer back in the day. |

| Glad to see it still works after spending a long time in a box, unused. |

Congrats. A very awesome player to this day.
Just don’t leave a disc sitting in it idle for hours; it will make the disc soft and flexible due to the heat it produces  . |

| It really seems that the onboard comb filter that Sony install in their OLED panels is pretty damn good when it comes to maximising LD picture quality or indeed any other composite video format. |
