Yamaha APD-1 LD Dolby Digital AC-3 RF Demodulator new

Yamaha APD-1 "Natural Sound" RF Demodulator, new-in-box, world model. This is what you need to process an RF-encoded Dolby Digital 5.1 LaserDisc signal when your amplifier or receiver does not have an RF input: most LD players have the RF output, but very few amps have the RF input, making this small unit a necessary step between the two. Here is how it connects in your AV system:

- APD-1 input: by coaxial cable (supplied) from an LD player's "AC-3 RF Out" jack
- APD-1 output: by coaxial cable and/or optical (Toslink) cable to an amplifier's "Dolby Digital In" or any jack that supports DD 5.1

Simple and straightforward ! The APD-1 is small, only about 10x6x13 cm. It has a power switch on the front, and a "Demodulate" indicator that is lit when an RF signal is being processed. No tuning or setup required, it is plug and play. It comes complete with AC cord (not detachable) and one coaxial cable. Everybody who bought one so far has been extremely satisfied.

This unit is a "world model" made in Japan that runs on any voltage worldwide (110-120V, 220-240V). The instructions are multilingual: English Français Deutsch Svenska Italiano Espanol Nederlands Chinese ! The power plug is of US type (two flat pins). It is cased in its' original Yamaha box, which will be protected for shipping by double-boxing.
