Digital Interface for Panasonic D-VHS VCR

The digital interface on the STB allows the transfer high speed digital data between devices.

The digital interface on the STB allows you to connect a Panasonic digital VHS (D-VHS) VCR only.

Digital VHS (D-VHS)

The digital interface allows the STB to control the D-VHS VCR and can even turn it on and simultaneously start recording through the TIMER feature.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) Audio

Dolby Digital (AC-3) 5.1 channel surround sound delivers CD-quality sound. AC-3 provides five discrete full-bandwidth channels for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right, plus a LFE (Low Frequency Effect) subwoofer channel.

External Dolby Decoder (Optional)

For a full Home Theater sound experience, an external AC-3 decoder and multichannel amplifier must be connected to the STB.

Stereo Output

The internal decoder converts compressed audio data, up to 5.1 channels, into two CD-quality stereo audio outputs, delivering stereo sound.

Note: The stereo audio outputs are Dolby Surround compatible. You can connect a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder (not included) to the stereo audio outputs and receive surround sound.
