Thanks, Sean and mooblie. Good read on VR301 Sean -- indeed, that's at the edge of the circuit board right by the balance knob. The only pots that look promising on the board are the yellow 5k ohm VR305 and VR306. In the schematic, VR306 is to the right of the motor for the volume knob, in horizontal section 5. On the PCB and in the schematic, it looks like each of the VR305/VR306 pots is part of a group of circuits that mirror each other. On the schematic you can see these groupings anchored by the Bass EQ switch. Obviously I figure that one group of circuits is for L and the other is for R.
This has become somewhat academic as I picked up a new Denon AVR receiver -- with an RS232 port that's just begging to be integrated with SqueezeCenter. :-) Since it's academic, I felt more comfortable fiddling with those pots without waiting for any suggestions from folks like Sean who can actually read schematics. 1/8 turn clockwise did nothing discernible (I should pick up an SPL meter and rip that test LP, so I could quantify this sort of work). 1/4 turn clockwise, still no significant change in the volume knob behavior -- but I could feel that heat sink radiating after only a minute or so at low volume. Not good. (Wish I'd had it plugged in to the Kill-A-Watt to see if it was pulling more than the customary ~23 watts.) So, counterclockwise. 1/8 turn, nothing. 1/4 turn, seems like nothing. And that's as far counterclockwise as I could easily turn VR306. So, a little bit of fun w/ screwdrivers, but not the outcome I hoped for. :-/ -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62792 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
