Thanks for the explanation about the digital formats on the LaserDisk.
I knew it as an analog video format, but I did not know that it had digital
audio. Therefor, the problem did not make sense to me. Very interesting.

I suppose, it does not alter the diagnoses, unless the audio was indeed
converted from the analog track...

Regards,
Michel.

playing a music CD or trying to record the audio from a laserdisc. If
memory serves; Laserdiscs have 2 audio tracks, one analogue and one digital
(16bit PCM). Later on the analogue track was used for AC-3. From the
digital track, everything should work as for a CD. For the analogue track
the SPDIF probably wouldn't even switch on in the case of a 'proper'
analogue track.
