Digital Interface for Panasonic D-VHS VCR

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

devices. With the digital interface, there is no need to first convert digital data into

analog, eliminating the loss of data integrity. The digital interface on the STB allows

you to connect a Panasonic digital VHS (D-VHS) VCR only.

Digital VHS (D-VHS)

The D-VHS VCR records the digital data directly onto tape without digital-to-analog

conversion. The recorded data from the tape then needs to be decoded for playback

through the STB. The STB provides everything necessary to use a Panasonic D-VHS

VCR. The digital interface allows the STB to control the D-VHS VCR and even turn 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.
