    AC3 Decoding cheaply

    Thanks again for all the help. Now that I have sound, my next project is to find some speakers with a connector that fits in the sonic voom AC3 decoder. The male plug that came with my headphones looks like a hand with the index finger pointing out like a gun. Does anyone know where I can...

    AC3 Decoding cheaply

    Well, I still having problems. I bought a Fortec Star Mercury II receiver based on the sale's reps assurance that it will pass though AC3 audio. I set it up and conected the Toshlink optical cable to the Sonic Voom AC3 decoder. Video for TV Japan and BBC's AC3 broadcast comes through fine...

    AC3 Decoding cheaply

    I'm back again. I've narrowed my search for a receiver down to three that pass through AC3 audio, the Pansat 3500, the Coolsat 6000 and the Fortec Star Mercury II. I haven't confirmed that the Merc II will actually receive TV Japan, so if anyone has a Merc II and could check, I would...

    AC3 Decoding cheaply

    Thanks Gabsphere and Linuxman. So, if I get the Pansat 3500, will I still need a AC3 decoder?

    AC3 Decoding cheaply

    Does anyone out there have a Pansat 3500 who can confirm that it can receive TV Japan broadcasting from the Galaxy 13/Horizons 1 at 3800 V frequency, and I believe symbol rate 1660? Also, does your Pansat 3500 decode the AC3 audio without a separate decoder? Thanks.

    AC3 Decoding cheaply

    Thank you very much. Now I know it's possible. I'll look for a receiver that outputs AC3 audio. I hope you don't mind if I keep asking questions.

    AC3 Decoding cheaply

    Thanks for the responses. I don't know whether the Traxis 2550 has AC3 output, but now I suppose it doesn't. I noticed that the cable that came with the Sonic Voom head phones had orange connectors and the Traxis 2550 does not have an orange port. My DVD player has an orange port, so I tried...

    AC3 Decoding cheaply

    No go with Traxis 2550 I'm new to satellite stuff, but through a friend, I learned that I could get TV Japan with a large satellite dish, I think you guys call them BUDs. My neighbor was throwing one away so I asked him for it and got set up with a Traxis 2550 receiver. We had TV Japan for...
