Hooking up my 976 and wondered if i could use a standard 3.5mm mono cable from my Xantech 789-44 repeater instead of the stick on emitters. Id also like to do this with my Oppo bdp-103.
Anyone done this ?
I gave up on this idea. The Xantech only put out 2 volts from the emitter port. I connected a mono 3.5 cable from it to the 976 and daisied to the Oppo. They would both turn on but no other command would work on either.
Worse, the front eye on both components was now disabled. Couldnt have that - i went back to the stick-on emitters.
My Remote works fine but it should have had pistol sights on the case as the shooting angle has to be very accurate. I dont believe its the eye on the 976 faceplate, i think its the remote itself - my equipment is in a media closet outside the theater, and the remote has to be aimed perfectly at my IR repeater too.
