I bought 2 RCA receivers + the triple LNB dish at Best Buy, and they gave me the rebate form at Best Buy when i purchased it.

ok, so I can hear Dolby Digital 5.1 only on pre-recorded discs, Not on programs I record from the Sat. receiver to the DVD recorder. So is there any point at all to have the Sat. Receiver connected with Optical cable to my DVD Recorder? What would I get with that connection that I couldn't if...

right, but there is only 1 optical jack on the back of my DVD Recorder, so i'm gonna use a splitter. I think i understand how to hook it up, I just wanted to know if the sat. receiver and the dvd recorder needed to be hooked up through optical I want to get that digital audio on to the...

Do any installers carry this model? I'm trying to sign up through Verizon because of their DirecTV/Phone service bundle deal, but they can't find any installers that have this in stock in my area (Los Angeles). I don't want to buy it in a retail store like Circuit City cause I'd have to pay...

I was looking at my manual and it does say 5.1. My question though is what do I need to do if I want to record a Dolby Digital broadcast from my satellite receiver to my DVD-R. My sat. receiver is connected to my DVD Recorder through S-Video. And my DVD-Recorder is connected to my Stereo...

My DVD Recorder is Panasonic DMR-HS2 and yes it does have a Dolby Digital optical input. But thats the only input and that is connected to my stereo receiver. The Satellite receiver will be connected to the DVD Recorder only through S-Video i believe. So you're saying To record the dolby...

well how do i get the dolby digital recorded from the program onto my DVD then? What connection needs to be made?

yeah i don't need TiVo. I love my DVD Recorder. It's got a hard drive to record on as well. I'm just trying to find out if I have the sat receiver connected to the DVD Recorder through S-video only, will i still be able to enjoy the digital sound that gets recorded onto a DVD or the hard drive...

I have a Dolby Digital DirecTV receiver which is connected to a Dolby Digital Stereo Receiver with an Optical cable. I also have a DVD Recorder that is connected through the Stereo Receiver with an optical cable. My question is this: If I want to record a program thats broadcasted in dolby...

so a receiver that has the dolby digital logo will let you hear those copyrighted programs, while the ones without it will not?

Steve, That's real nice of you. Maybe you could tell me what I should do. I have a Stereo Receiver which has 2 Optical inputs (1 for "DVD" and 1 for "TV/SAT"). The Stereo Receiver also has 1 Coaxial input for "DVD" Right now, the "DVD" optical input is occupied by the optical cable from...

I found out that the RCA DRD486 has Coaxial along with Optical. I hope Coaxial quality will be as good as Optical because my optical jacks on my Stereo receiver are maxed out so i'd have to use the coaxial.

oh ok. so the antenna comes with the package and you plug it into the back? it doesn't mention that it comes with it in the manual.

So what's the difference in the audio if it has just this Digital output but it doesn't say Dolby Digital?

what is a UHF remote exactly? And what is the story with this model and the RF Remote Antenna that the manual says is needed to plug in the back in order to use the Remote from another room and thru walls. Is this antenna included with the receiver? I have not found this type of antenna...
