| Is your CDX5 level? And mounted securely? My CDXR7 seems to be quite
good except on CDs with a lot of dust/hair/junk on the surface. Under
those conditions it seems to be a lot less tolerant to road
imperfections. (The CDX5 is the same CD transport as the CDXR7.)
Could you give us a better idea of (1) where you have your RCA to
DIN problem and (2) XR70-XE9-Proton interfacing?

Well, the CD is in the dash and mounted securely -- But. . .
CDX5 is RCA output and converted to DIN. The XR70 with its remote amp
switching and CDX5 override is all working properly. XR70 preamp outputs
are fed into the XM55 by din and converted to RCA to feed the PROTON 222.
The CDX5's RCA jacks go straight to the PROTON 222's RCA inputs and are
converted to din via Sony adapter. The adapter has everything converted
except the remote switching wires.
If I remember it right, putting the XE9 via the din outputs between the
CDX5 and the amps messed up the remote switching of both or all. Anyway,
do you know of a source for wiring diagrams for Sony din configurations
or remote switching stuff??... I would love to chop off all these plugs
and connections and standardize my installation.
The CDX5's single outputs don't allow for front rear fade and the only
faders I've seen fade after it's amplified. I also want to bi-equalize
with a second XE9 as well as bi-amplify, but I want to figure out the
remote switching ..etc..first!

| 394.3 | Is it the RTO? | LATOUR::GSCOTT | | Thu Jun 26 1986 14:33 | 15 |
| So what we have for signal is
CDX5(RCA)---(din)XR70(din)===(din)XE9(din)--(RCA)Proton==rear speakers
(din)--(RCA)Proton==frontspeakers
Is that right? I assume that the din to rca cord(s) include a seperate
wire for the RTO (remote turn on). When you bypass the RTO for the XE9
and or the Proton stuff can you get signal properly through from either
the CDX5 and the XR70? Is it the RTO signal from the CDX5 that is at
fault (do you have a voltmeter?)?
What kind of car is this? Does it have a stiff suspension? As I said,
almost no trouble with skips in my car with the CDXR7.

^^^^
Yes, the RTO's are separate. The XR70's RTO's should turn on the
CDX5 when the CDX5 is in use, as well as the XE9 and both amps. Both
preamped signals of the XR70 and CDX5 want to go through the din in
and out of the XE9 to turn it and the amps on. It doesn't.
Converting RTO's to din to go through the XE9 to get an XE9 T.O.
(turn on) doesn't work. Yes, by-passing the XE9 (the present set up)
does work. My attempt to have the XE9 to T.O. as well as amps T.O.
and also have the XR70 override the CDX5 when its in use, has left me
P.O.'d .... (Partially Obfuscated)
Thanks for your quick reply

Did this work properly without the CDX5? And am I correct in assuming
that the CDX5 requires a RTO rather thrn furnishing one?
1) Anyway, currently do you enjoy the following?
XE9 out of the chain
CDX5 power up causes amp powerup
XR70 powerup causes amp powerup and CDX5 powerup(?!)
2) Is it possible to bypass the XE9's RTO? And then does SIGNAL make it thru
from XR70 to XE9 and the amps when in radio/tape mode
from CDX5 to XE9 and the the amps in CD mode
If that works, maybe you want this; RTO everything after the XR70
from the XR70.
/----------------rto---------v
CDX5(RCA)---(din)XR70(din)=RCA/RCA=(din)XE9(din)--(RCA)Proton==rear
\ / (din)--(RCA)XM55==front
\-----rto--------------------^
The din-RCA/RCA-din could be accomplished by figuring out the din pin
for RTO and splicing in a wire to go to the amps. With a voltmeter it
would be a simple matter to tell when the RTO signal is on the din
connectors. You could also sense the RTO signal at each point in the
chain; you can then tell who is dropping the RTO and bypass that
point.
