Question about RCA RS2044 Shelf System

1 Answer

Volume I have a JVC MT v588t system, the one with tape deck, receiver and 3 cd's in one. Recently the volume control has been going haywire. It goes up by itself. Very strange. If I turn it down, it will sometimes operate OK, but sometimes very slowly goes down, not accompanying the speed with which I actually turn the knob. Today it immediately went to full volume when I turned it on, and I didn't even touch the knob. So I just shut it off until I can figure out what's going on. Any help on this? Thanks

Hi,
This sounds like a case of a dirty/defective rotary encoder. The volume control used here is not the conventional potentiometer type , but a rotary set of switches that tell the sytem if the knob is being turned left ot right.
Do you think you'd be able to open the unit and spray some contact cleaner into the rotary encoder? It might involve dis-assembling it down to front bezel removal.

Hi having problem with my sta-2080 realistic receiver have equalizer and tape deck all realistic the volume on the receiver goes load and then soft with a lot of cracking sound the tape deck works good...
Is it just with the EQ (or any other single component) in the link? Old equipment develops oxidation on various controls. Depending on physical access, tuner cleaner may help. Or take it to a shop.

I've had my JVC TH-L1 Theater System for about 2 years now. I recently rearranged my theater setup in my living room and after reconnecting my system the receiver will power up but not work. I have...
The fact that it stopped working after you tampered with it implies human error in reconnecting.

I'd advise you to carefully go over every thing you touched and crack the manual for settings.

Treat it like you just opened the box for the first time.

Keep the volume at a medium level until you figure it out. One misplaced control like a Mute or Tape Monitor, when flipped, could blow your speakers if the volume is set too high. If you can't hear a source at 1/3 volume it ain't there.

How do I connect my JVC equalizer to my stero system
I imagine Tape 2 has a corresponding switch on the front panel of the receiver to monitor it.

The rear panel Tape 2 conenctor will look something like Record (Out) / Play (In). Similarly, on the EQ will be an RCA pair of connectors something like Preamp In / Amp Out.

Run a pair from the Ins of one device to the Outs of the other. Select Tape 2 on the receiver to hear the effects of its actions.

The EQ will probably have a switch that selects monitoring the Line (signal from the receiver) or Tape (attached to the EQ). The EQ will have its own Tape 1 (maybe 2) for connection of Tape Deck(s) or other processor(s). On its front panel will be controls to monitor it (them) and for placing the EQ logically in front of (Record) or behind (Playback) those devices.

Word of caution: until you have this all connected exactly right and are comfortable with how it interacts with your recever, ALWAY TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN TO A SAFE LOW SETTING, prior to selecting or deselecting any Tape Monitor. Whatever you do, don't run the volume up in frustration because you can't hear the desired program and then suddenly flip the right switch only to blow up your speakers from the sudden appearance of LOUD music.

Need to record from turntables to cassette deck.
Bypass the reciever. Just mixer to tape deck. You will get a better recording anyways!

On jvc tdw11
the line out of a tape deck is about 1 volt peak, the output of a turntable is about 3-5mV on average.
Not sure what issue you are having but the turntable cannot be directly plugged into the cassette deck for recording LP to cassette. it would have to go through the receiver.

Set up
The red and white plugs are audio - they should go to one of the receiver's inputs.

The yellow plug is composite video - if your receiver has a yellow jack, plug it into the receiver (this will let you switch inputs from the receiver), if not, plug it into your TV.

Same goes for your tape deck, though it won't have a video output.
