I had great first day with AC3 today.
Tried 3 movies: SW Episode 1, X-files, Fifth element.
The sound is so much sharper and deeper than regular digital sound, I am afraid there is no turning back from it. :D

Sony SDP-EP9ES

Nice EP9ES, I have the same in my system but I don't use AC3.

Have you got a DVDO on top of it? I let my EP9ES breath with nothing on top because I find the EP9ES puts out a lot of heat.

In our effort to extract all the good information accumulated on the forum over the years, the AC3RF Demodulators, AC3 and/or DTS Processors (with AC3RF input) will soon start living in their own database:

https://www.lddb.com/device/ac3rf
https://www.lddb.com/device/ac3
https://www.lddb.com/device/dts

The various User/Service manuals will also get links from their hardware database entry.

While in the process of populating the database with the AC3RF-compatible gears I wonder why B&K AVP 1030 is on the list..

It has multi-ch inputs but not AC3RF decoding capability as far as I can see?

+ I found a Japanese A/V AMP that wasn't on the list: Yamaha DSP-R995

Also the Linn AV 5103 doesn't have an optional AC3RF input, instead it has AC3RF built-in and you can use Coax Input #1 either as Digital or AC3RF by configuration!

This thread will soon be locked.

I will stop updating the topic first post now that all the information are being moved to the Hardware Database.

The new URL will be => https://www.lddb.com/hardware/part/ac3rf/

Any update/submit of a device with an AC3RF Input (RCA or BNC) will automatically add the device to the list.

Not sure why Teac AG-D9100 made it to the list.

Both US and EU models have no AC3-RF in.

after all this time I finally updated the list at AVS. added nad t770 and theta casaiii. any more??
I would not really rely on the i/o 100% I've seen various versions of product and regions with different i/o, plus that list is almost 10 years old.


(replying on a post from 2014!)

I did the checks device by device (with User manual when needed) and reached about 80% of devices moved to the database.

Added, since they were mentioned:

NAD T770
Theta Casablanca III

I'm only thinking now that I should have spit RCA L/R in for PHONO separately... a little late for that maybe?

... and THEN I realize that the Casablanca are modular so... it's not really possible to document them precisely!

Wasn't the Casablanca the only unit that could be ordered with two AC3-RF inputs?

This reminds me of the TAG McLaren AV32R where the AC3-RF input was optional, and could also just be a second coaxial digital input if not ordered specifically.
And even worse: Some units got modified aftermarket because people who had no LD player wanted the second digital input instead of a decoder they never needed.
So if you buy one used make sure the AC3-RF decoder is still in there, even if it is written on the back it might just not be true anymore.

I've seen Casablanca, Casablanca II and Casablanca III with dual AC3RF inputs so far.

It's very hard to document :-)

My apologies if this unit is already listed but I’ve searched and can’t see it anywhere. Its the Roksan Caspian DSP AV Surround Sound Processor; a friend owned one of these a good while back and I can remember noticing the AC3 input on the rear panel although he was a later HT adopter and missed the LD era so it was never employed, pretty sure its got the demodulator built in though.

This receiver was posted today on Laserdisc forever, it looks like it has a built in demodulator and should be added to the list: Pioneer VSX-V555

I believe the back on this amp is the same as my VSX-606s.


Both correct, they have been added now:

Pioneer VSX-V555 (USA, Gold)
Pioneer VSX-D606S (USA, Black)
Pioneer VSX-D606S (World, Gold, multi-voltage)

Not sure it was ever posted before, here is the insides of a Japanese Pioneer RFD-1.

I believe a different power adaptation was mounted/screwed depending on the input voltage and the corresponding sticker added on the back?
Maybe not, the VTT1153 of this 100V model is also mentioned in the EU service manual as a VTT1153 (AC220-230V).

Ugh I had a 57 or 59 and hated it, do you actually like it.
Too early computer for me and total junk, gave me headaches for days on end tying to set it up and I know how to do stuff too.

Would use that center microphone to do auto setup and it never worked, was always off by 8-10 feet randomly when performing the setup.

Post subject:  Re: Receivers and other equipments that support AC3RF

I'm new to site and wanted to ask, is there a way to search for players that have AC-3 out? When I look online I'm going by pictures of the back of laserdisc players and it is tedious as heck. Thanks for any help
