Paul_R Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Does anybody have one of these projectors with an original wired remote control cable, or know from experience that the wired remote sockets use a stereo or mono mini jack?If it is stereo are all three pins connected, or just two (and which) ?? The manual whilst listing a part number, does not specify... Secondly any ideas on the maximum length that a wired remote is likely to extend to? Thanks,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 If you extend using 3 conductor plugs and sockets (stereo) and 3 conductor cable, you shouldnt have any problems in either a mono or a stereo socket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternewman Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 you shouldnt have any problems in either a mono or a stereo socket...unless it's a four pole jack! <_< However realistically its probably just going to be serial or something, so two pins, or a third for power, would probably be enough.

dbuckley Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I had an videorecorder with a wired remote on a mono 3.5mm plug and the thing basically switched resistors in line, depending on button pushed. The resistor value was in Ks, so you could clearly have a very long cable before cable resistance was an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 This may or may not help, but I've got an MT1060 sat in front of me, with its remote & the original cable for it. It's just a standard 3 pole (stereo) 3.5mm jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a standard 3 pole (stereo) 3.5mm jack Thanks Shez, thats excellent.It looks like the same range of projector, so hopefully the same cable!Don't suppose I could push my luck and ask if you have a multimeter handy and could confirm if all three poles are indeed connected as you would suspect? i.e. tip to tip, mid to mid and bottom to bottom??

Shez Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I do have a meter and yes they are wired straight through - tip to tip, ring to ring and sleeve to sleeve. The plugs are moulded so I can't tell what kind of cable it is but it's a round profile and pretty thin so unlikely to be anything exotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to cable, I was thinking about making a short adapter from mini jack to XLR so I could use mic cable to extend unless anybody tells me thats a really bad idea....

Pete McCrea Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Good idea, and done by many AV companies for exactly the reason. We've had looms made up with XLR cables in for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
