the wiring harness i have has the red wire cut, and i searched on the forum and saw this is a factory upgrade, probably to prevent loops ?
so i jumpered it to GND and BAAAAM, sound, clear and beautiful and POT works beautifully.
but if i don't need to have gnd refrence from the cut wire, where should i be getting the GND refrence ? is there another component bad somewhere ? or a trace that lost its gnd ?
Hey ang3lus
I would just like to say,
In many digital audio digital pieces of equipment, quite often ground is whats called a floating ground, hence; not directly connected to mainsground/earth.
Even though the schematic provides you with a ground symbol sign on the diagram.
The reasons; to cut down back round noise.
Very often this so called ground/earth is lifted up by a 10 ohm resistor in the circuit.
Why ? well, Im not a circuit design engineer, but MJMP is, so I cannot go any further on that one, I would love some education on that if MJMP would share those reasons why that is the way some audio equipment is like that.
Please MJMP, light us up ?
ang3lus, I'm delighted you got that sorted out.
