Remote control kits

[Renron]

Piero7,

I found the floor in my rental house! After moving lots of boxes I found the soldering Iron. Desoldered the 2 resistors in series and measured them to be 96.8K Ohms. I'm gong to order a quality one close to that range.

That doesn't help you probably, but how about a picture of your wiring setup. Maybe we can help you trace the problem down. I'm not very experienced with electronics, but I'm willing to help if I can!

I have a configuration made of Control2, Panel2, Inpup1, RelVol1 and I just wonder how to make the mute function available by a front panel button other than from the remote.
In the Control2 manual there is a function called Pin9 HW Mute, but to me it's not clear how to use it. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/image...s/confused.gif
Is there anyboby who already has tried it?

Thanks,

raffaele

Thanks Renron, actually I have 111K as r28-r29. About the wiring, I'll make some photos

Piero7,
What type are they? I was told (by Mikkel) that it's the relays that actually cause the "click" when changing volume.
Did you order the same type or a different brand / manufacturer?

I hope it removes the "Clicks"...............I would DEFIANTLY change mine out too! I hate the clicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have ordered 6 x Takamisawa RY5W already used in the past and never heard that damned click! 1,5 euro X 1 and if I dont remove the click with these relays I'll dance the tip tap on this fuc@ed board!

For the moment, I'm used the stepper attenuator from Khuzmo

P7,


sounds like a good idea.

Please let me know how it turns out! I'd change mine in a heartbeat if it works!

[piero7]

Sure

Anyone using the Input1 module?

If I leave the CDP playing an change to an unused input I can hear it very faintly if I get up close to the speakers. Its really quiet but I wondered if this was an issue others have noticed?

Im using mine in a slightly different way: I have all my RCA grounds tied together. The ground wire connects directly to the volume pot so no input ground connection passes through the Input1 module. I did this to try and avoid any potential ground loops and also to prevent any noise being injected onto the signal ground front the Input1.

Maybe I should wire it up in the standard way?

A lot of posts I haven't seen - I should get here more often

If you hear clicks on every step, it's usually caused by DC somewhere in the path. What's connected on the input and output? If you only have clicks at certain points (like -48/-47dB and -31/-32dB) I have a fix for that...

If using a RelVol1 or RelVol1C board only, you cannot get full muting. The attenuator cannot attenuate more than 63dB, so you get -63dB when you press the mute button. When you use an input selector also, there is a mute relay on that board.
