volume feedback from pioneer elite VSX-91TXH

cheinemann605
 

I am having some trouble using the volume feedback from this receiver to drive a analog gauge. With other devices, I use a lookup table in the serial i/o to drive an analog initialize, and an analog scaler. But, this unit does not respond with vol xx. Instead this receiver feeds back with :

v
o
l
x
x

each character is fed back with a carriage return after it. Is there some type of counter or accumulator that could take these numbers and combine them together into a single string?? I thought of using the numeric keypad, but once 2 bits are sent, then the keypad logic would have to be reset every time. My guess is that someone has had to deal with this issue before.

Sorry I missed your reply, been away for a few days, thanks very much for the info, will wire it up and give it a go!!

but I could potentially use a din-8sw8 relay for the switching? its rated for 240v 16amp. I only ask as I am using these for all sorts of requirements on site from window treatments and garage door open triggers etc and I have plenty of spares on the last module? I could trigger it from the selection of the altered tv position with an interlock?

You can use the PRO3 relays to trip an external relay. I like to get relays with 24V DC coils because there is always Cresnet power around. Any time you introduce a contact into a speaker line, you could have loss, but it will be negligible and probably undetectable.

I believe the internal relays are rated for 30V. Speakers signal can exceed that. Not sure what would happen, given the transient nature of the signal. You would of course use up four of them vs just one for external and it will be messier than using a DPDT relay external (looping the inputs through those tiny terminals). It is always safest to have a level of separation between things. I recall taking over a job with a PRO2 that had many fried relays. There was a motorized door panel that had a 48V trigger on an external relay. I'm assuming that the previous guy had tried various internal relays and had relay failures. I think they were stuck closed.

what a fantastic suggestion! and a tremendous price!! Will there be any loss of quality?

When you say digital output, are you referring to the pro3 versiports? Can they be set to output a specific voltage or will this toy be happy with a logic closure?

Out of curiosity what is the reason that their relays can't be used, would it damage them? or the speakers, or both?

Re: Oppo BDP-103 no video

 

A couple of obvious things...
1) Make sure you're using one of the HDMI outputs on the Oppo, not the
input.
2) Try both HDMI outputs on the Oppo - HDMI 2 has a less complex signal
path and thus quicker HDMI handshakes.
3) Try the Oppo connected directly to a display, bypassing the HD-MD8x1 to
rule out a defective Oppo.

Lots of improvements. Now uses a TCP IP symbol for connection and won't throw any errors. Makes it easier to handle when and why it connects. Make sure to update the ra 2 firmware to the newest.

Re: On Site - AV2 not responding

 

I had a similar issue with a AV2 and the simpl+ modules that I was using from BSS would lock it every time. I could load the same program to a cp2e at work and it would work fine, both had v4.003 firmwares. That AV2 had v1 firmware when I got to it and I updated it to v4.003.

They only way I could get the AV2 to come back to life was to connect to it 232 and hold software btn and press release HW btn and keep holding the software for about 10 seconds. Initialize and restore it from command prompt. I then had to change to older BSS modules and reload the program and all was good.

I think crestron changed something from the the first generation of pro/av2's to the current and the first generation does not like the simpl+

I just brought my useless ReplayTV to Best Buy two weeks ago, they have recycling programs. Just need to check their website for your area.

I sympathize with OP, I hate throwing out what was once useful and I see it as still maybe useful. It was painful when I upgraded my Replay series 5000 boxes to Tivo Series 3 HD's... I kept them for a while thinking someone might want them, but couldn't find anyone. Went to the dump. At least OP was able to transfer his license out.

Rather than put it curbside, I'd at bring it to your town's local recycling center, most towns seem to have some kind of "e-waste" container these days. If not, find a friend who has one and get him to toss it.

If you really want to try to get rid of it, try freecycle or Craiglist.

if you mean the parameters at the bottom of the touchpanel symbol its 255d. Regardless I should see the whole string in debugger if all is well correct?
