jvandecar Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Let me get this straight, The DD 5.1 connects to a Promedia 5.1 how? Solely by using 3 cables, that are RCA on one end, and 1/8" on the other? How does the DD 5.1 control the volume? How does the DD 5.1 power the Promedias on and off? The Promedia control box still has to be connected to Subwoofer in order to control volume and power? Or am I completely wrong in assuming this and the DD 5.1 connects using the G9? If I am correct, I'm not forking out $170.00 bucks for a decoder that solely decodes. One that makes me get off my butt and turn the speakers up or down, or off. That's rediculous! I'd rather buy a $200.00 Sony Receiver and mod the subwoofer to always stay on. Someone clue me in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stark16 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 The DD-5.1 has a remote control and a volume function. It will not by itself power on the Promedia's. I have my Promedia's set to a volume of 65 and use the DD-5.1's remote to tweak it. The DD-5.1 uses an adapter cable that has two RCA plugs on one end and a female 1/8" on the other. You'd use the standard 1/8" cables to plug into the female ends. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvandecar Posted November 17, 2003 Author Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hrm, seems they get a lot of this, here is from the FAQ: What is the circuit orientation for the three mini plugs? Tip=Left/Center Middle=Right/LFE ________ So I suppose I can mod not the sub, but the cable to connect to a normal receiver. Thoughts?
