Money well spent Well if this is how you think go all out and buy separates, don't bother with that stupid black cube decoder get the one with the volume on the front, you can still connected that to your AV setup. They made 2 Pioneer models I know of and I've seen some others, focus on that go big or go home I always say. Pioneer Elite SP-99D is on of them, there was a Japanese gold unit too and I think someone else made one.

signofzeta wrote: Yeah, I don’t know what the point is of something like that now. You only need to convert RF modulated AC-3 to digital. Any remotely modern AVR will do the rest. That thing was made for when AVRs had six line ins and no internal surround processing and likely no DTS at all. It’s totally for another era, just a waste of power and space now. Well there's no real point in any of it now, but if want to be gucci then get the real deal stuff. I had the Japanese model and it was super easy to use when connecting it to my other HT stuff.

When I got the player I checked that it works with Alien-ld that I bought years ago and then bought 7 movies from online auction. Picture wasn`t bad at all and player isn`t that noisy that I thought it would be. Money well spent
And at some point, I`m gonna start looking for demodulator. Hi and welcome to the forum The CLD-2950 never had an AC3 RF Out fitted as standard, back in the day (mid 90s) I had my original purchased from new unit retrofitted so did you get lucky and land one that has also had the mod?

Wait, don’t you just plug it into the right analog out? THAT WAS A JOKE! A JOKE!!!

Thanks everyone. laserfanhld-gb wrote: That does look like a nice job, mine like many others had the socket fitted in the large space below the sticker on the shot Julien provided. Hope your good luck holds out in finding a reasonably priced demodulator though, people seem to want crazy prices these days and especially so all around Europe unfortunately. I honestly thought that outlet was factory made.

It looks factory since whomever modded it used the same screw mount style RCA jack and it helps they tried to mimic the same labeling style as the other jacks Tbh @Idfan I honestly thought that looks rather like one of your mods except it’s located on the wrong continent!

I think he used a label printer for the text but looks engraved on the chassis from distance.
