Author Topic: 6 channel external input to JS-200 Jeff Else Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Detroit, MI, USA Registered: Nov 2006 posted 02-23-2009 03:18 AM                     I would like to be able to input full 6 channel analogue audio from the RCA outs on a blu-ray player to an Ultra Stereo JS-200. The only input that is 6 channel capable is occupied by a DA-20. If I piggyback wires to an RCA breakout board to plug the blu-ray player into, do I risk interfering with the DA-20's signal during normal film operation? or will the everything be fine if it is wired properly with properly terminated shields and nothing is plugged in to the RCA jacks while using the DA-20?  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 02-23-2009 03:39 AM                     There's an input on the DA20, you can use that one.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Else Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Detroit, MI, USA Registered: Nov 2006 posted 02-23-2009 03:57 PM                     If I use the input on the DA-20, how do i tell it to use that input? Does it automatically use that input when there is no digital signal from the reader?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 02-23-2009 04:59 PM                        Yes. You could also power down the DA-20 or the reader.

If i use pin 24 as is used for SW output, will I have a SW signal passing through the DA20? Is it just not listed as it is of no use with the CP200 or is there no pass through for the SW signal?  |  IP: Logged Robert Minichino Master Film Handler Posts: 350 From: Haskell, NJ, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 02-24-2009 08:44 AM                        You must make a small modification to the DA-20 backplane to enable subwoofer passthrough. There's a document and pictures in the "manuals" section of this site detailing the procedure.  |  IP: Logged Jarret Chessell Master Film Handler Posts: 288 From: London, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2009 posted 02-26-2009 10:23 PM                     Hi, What manual is this modification in?
