Hey everyone, hope you are all good.
All i seem to do here is bring problems
Ok, i have a lovely but old JBL ESC333 home cinema system that I had retired as it developed a fault bt upon replacing it with an Onkyo HTX22-HDX, I realised that i am going to struggle to get the thunder that this produces without some serious outlay. The Onkyo was quite simply, limp in comparison. I mean this JBL thing would remove your lungs at 20 paces
So, Onkyo duly sold on, I am setting out to fix the brute. hopefully with your help team.
So, the initial problem started to be irksome and was most certainly not a show stopper......i was only able to turn the volume on the system up and not down with the remote. Its one of those systems that has basic functions on the unit itself and most of the complicated adjustments were done via the remote, but these all worked, just nto the volume down.
The system itself has a little remote eye that plugs into the main unit and this was bought new, nto so long ago directly from JBL (Harman)
This minor itch developed into HATRED so I ended up just putting the whole system into storage until now.
Now, when i try anything from the remote, it doesnt work at all. Its one of those wee credit card remotes so there isnt much scope to pull it apart and see inside either.
I did however check it out in front of a camera and could see the little IR light flashing, all with anew battery but still, it wouldnt do anything to the unit, even if basically touching the IR receiver eye.
Would appreciate any thoughst on testign the actual output of the remote or likewise, testign what the little receiver eye is putting out in response to the ir signal.
The receiver eye plugs into the main unit using what looks like a 3 pin headphone jack.
Look forward to any and all suggestiosn team
Cheers
Andy

He's gonna need a better meter. The 890G is a good cheapo workhorse.
