I connected it at volume control and it worked, but equalizer and speaker balance didn't work, then at R327 and R328 resistors balance started working but still nothing from equalizer.It appears a good spot to try is at the volume control where C201 and C202 are connected. Not at the center terminal on the pot but the top terminal, or the right side of R327 and R328, 1.5K resistors.
Try the right side of R343 and R344. They appear to be connected directly to preamp circuits that feed the tone controls.Any ideas where else I could try connecting aux?
Possible the output from the phone is loading down the circuit at that junction inhibiting the signal going to the VU circuit.Equalizer and balance are working, but for some reason VU meter doesn't work
That works, but now I have to keep phone volume under 50% to avoid distortion.Try the right side of R343 and R344. They appear to be connected directly to preamp circuits that feed the tone controls.
VU meter used to work on all modes... actually at the moment that aux is connected to R343 and R344 the only mode that it doesn't work on is tape.I suspect that the VU meter is only used during recording to the Tape Deck.
I tried connecting it at R313 and R314 (atleast I think that's what it says here). I got similar result as if I connected it to phono input.I have marked out the signal traces in RED and BLUE for you to locate and inject your AUX dual channel inputs.
If I understand right that would mean that my phone would clip while playing to other devices aswell?You need to see what is clipping. It might be your phone that is clipping when its volume is higher than 80%.
Does that mean it's working to your satisfaction?Now on the VU meter everything above 50% on the phone shows in red color and below in green, while the radio volume doesn't matter.
Yes it is good enough. I will probably add another pot to replace current "record level" knob and call it "gain control". It will probably make the most sense since the best result is at about 50%, so right in the middle and if some song will be more quiet I could make it a bit louder there.Does that mean it's working to your satisfaction?
