Laserdisc Audio Guide Part 3 Ac 3 Dolby Digital Youtube Culturedog sam hatch has returned with a small series of videos hashing out the convoluted history of the audio portion of laserdisc history. analog, digital. It was limited to a max bitrate of 384kbit sec as opposed to 448kbit sec on dvd. it also required use of a clunky ac3 demodulator (as dolby digital on laserdisc is actually stored in modulated form on one of the legacy analog audio tracks). the best part of the audio that you find on most laserdiscs is the digital stereo track.
Aliens Laserdisc Rare Laserdiscs Ac 3 Dolby Digital The way it sounds his laserdisc player has just a coax ac 3 rf output and not optical as many of the players did not have a digital optical output. a coax "pcm ac 3 input" will not decode information from an rf output. the input on the decoder will need to be rf compatable. it should show this next to the input and say "ac 3 rf input". You take an rca cable and run it from the ac 3 rf output of your ld player, into the ac 3 rf input of the decoder box. it will then demodulate the signal into dolby digital, decode it into six channels, and output through six rca cables (one per channel: fronts, surrounds, center, and subwoofer). those go into the multi channel input on your. Ac 3, the long form…. ac 3 = audio coder #3, it’s the original name for dolby digital on laserdics. the last count i heard was that there were over 800 ac 3 laserdiscs released in the u.s. i think clear and present danger was the first. the first one i got was stargate. ac 3 has caused beaucoups of confusion with more than a few ld newbies. Extracting dolby digital from a laserdisc required a player equipped with a special "ac 3 rf" output and an external demodulator in addition to an ac 3 decoder. the demodulator was necessary to convert the 2.88 mhz modulated ac 3 information on the disc into a 384 kbit s signal that the decoder could handle.

I see a lot of talk about on here and from what i read understand that i need a demodulator for the ld player to utilize ac 3. i have 3 a v receivers. yamaha rx v375, sony bravia dav hdx500, and technics sa dx930 (late 90's). the technics specifically talks about ac 3. would none of these be able to fully utilize the ac 3 from the laserdisc player. By archive worthy i mean directors commentary or extra video audio that wasn’t released on another format. i don’t consider surround sound archive worthy because it’s more for the experience rather than the content itself. i was just wondering if ac 3 audio tracks had what i considered archive worthy content on the ac 3 track.
