Hello everyone,

I would like to know if the video sensor for the NC-50 can be used with an audio jack. I have a Teac CD/receiver that does not have discrete on/off codes that I'm trying to program. I would like to plug the sensor into the tape output on the back of the unit if thats possible.

If that doesnt work, I guess I will use the voltage sensor with a Xantec module.

Thanks in advance

John

Thanks. Unfortunatly the Teac receiver only has analog left and right outputs. :(

Does the Teac have a switched outlet? If so, then you can use a 12V PS and the Nevo Voltage Sensor.

If it doesn't then I'd use a Niles CS12 instead of the Xantech - less expensive, one box solution.

Cheers,

I got a reply from Nevo tech support. They told me that it should work this way.

Might work if you have a source playing, otherwise their should be no voltage on the tape monitor outputs.

So I guess I'm wondering if this would work. How would the Sensor tell if the unit is on or off if there is nothing playing through the receiver?

I think I'd just purchase that CS12V I was mentioning early - probably more robust.

i would guess if its off, there would be no voltage. so the command would turn the receiver on. I think the problem would be, if the customer mutes the stereo, then tries to turn it off, it probably wouldnt turn off. (since the voltage sensor would think the unit is already off)

Unfortunately I wont get a chance to check on this project. The boat that the Teac was on has left, and the customer will have to deal with a toggle code for power for now, which he seems to be OK with. If the boat ever comes back for service, I will be sure to try it out though.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm sure your way is better and I will do that in the future. My idea to use the video sensor seemed like a good idea at the time :)

sorry, i never had the chance to try the video sensor in that install.   from my understanding though, it will work if there is a constant voltage output, but if the line outputs have a volume control on them, and the volume is turned down, it will not sense the signal.
