Hi!
I would like to add IR control to an old receiver I have here...
The receiver in question is a Sony STR-G3 which used to be controlled by some sort of "mouse" (RM-VP1) which is unfortunatly broken...
[That amp was what was called at the time a "Visiontouch" receiver...]
There is a way to add IR control to that amp using a hack described at the following URL: http://web2.airmail.net/will/str0g3.html
I am not (yet) very good with a soldering iron but I think I can do it, the problem I have is finding the right parts...
I know the general principle behind caps & resistors (and definitly enough to know that I need more info on the caps & resistor they suggest be used).
- The IR receiver they ask for (Radio Shack 276-137), I got one with what seems to be the same pinout and with almost the same part number 276-137a so I'm pretty sure I've got a compatible part.
- The resistor is described as an approx 1k Ohm Resistor but there's no mention about wattage or tolerance...
The cap is described as an 1uF Capacitor. From the look of it it's an electrolytic one, but there no mention of voltage or any other spec about it I should be looking for...
I found the service manual for that amp at the following URL http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download...ny_STR-G3.html but since that part wasn't installed at the factory it looks like it wasn't included in the schematics either...
Can anybody please tell me what part I should get and where could I order them (from Canada).
Thank you and have a nice day!
Nick
PS: I did try to contact the person that publish that fix but never got any answer ...
