I cannot seem to get the RF AC3 signal to work using the OPTICAL inputs on my Denon 3801. I have the RF AC3 signal from a Pioneer CLD-704 LD player routed thru a Sony MOD-RF1 demodulator. I tried all of the optical inputs on this receiver and get the same result - no sound out of the Denon. Thinking it was the Sony demodulator, I tried another unit and get the same result. Then tried another optical cable with the same result.
The interesting thing is that the Denon locks onto the DD bitstream and I get the sound using the one COAXIAL input that it has.
So what's the problem with the 3801? The optical inputs work fine for other equipment. DTS/DD is no problem with the dvd player or HTPC and PCM/DD from sat works. Even DTS out of the Laser disc players digital out works fine with the optical.
I'm baffled
