AC3 sound on some channels

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.video.satellite.mpeg-dvb (More info?)

Has anyone an idea for an inexpensive external
decoder from the S/PDIF jack on the receiver?
(Pansat 2700A)

I don't want/care to go the entire receiver pkg.
(removed my receiver from the setup last spring,
never used it -- not a music/sound quality listener).

I'm just looking for a stand alone decoder (not PC)
that has outputs that just plug into my tv RCA in jacks
and lets me hear these channels as well as see them.

thanks

Walmart usually has some reasonably priced AC3/spdif decoders.

I bought a Durabrand Home Theater system from them a couple of years ago.
It was a complete audio system with 5 speakers and a sub-woofer and
I think I paid $69 for it. They had a lower priced system at the time for
$49.

You have two options.

1:Cheap HTIB sets. Yes, they usually come with speakers and all, but you
want cheap.

2:Not so cheap and easy to find standalone AC3 decoders. Yes, you have
to work finding them, an pay a bit for them, but you want a stanadalone.

Thanks
That's the price range i needed, and convenient place around here.
Is there any way (screen diagnostic, etc) to tell what mode (?) a
channel's sound is in, other than this ( buying different decoder
systems and hoping)?
