I bought a CLD-980 laserdisc player when I was in college many moons ago and it still works like a champ. Since I am putting together a little more high end room now, I decided to upgrade since I have a lot of great LDs that I can't let go of.
I bought a Pioneer Elite CLD-95 from eBay for $220. Great picture! The unit has been modified to add a AC3 RF output so I just ordered a Yamaha APD-1 from the guy in Australia that is selling them currently on eBay.
I have the optical out of the CLD-95 running into my Denon AVR-3802 receiver and the DTS discs are working great! I never thought Laserdiscs could sound so good.
When the Yamaha AC-3 Demodulator arrives and is connected, it receive the RF and output either optical or digital coax DD signal. I guess I will have to run that into the receiver into another digital input. That will force me to change the receiver setting from one digital input to another, depending on the type of disc that I am playing.
On to the question.... is there any other way to set this up to avoid having to make that change each time?
