In Reply to: Dish Network's optical output isn't working with Pioneer CD recorder posted by Jim on June 28, 2000 at 00:02:44:
Jim,In order to get help trouble shooting the problem,
you need to describe the signal path and cable hook ups
you are using as well as all the equipment.I have a friend who owns a Yamaha DSP A1 and a Pioneer Elite
CDRW and he could not record a digital signal when it was
routed through the Yamaha. After speaking with a Yamaha tech
via e-mail, he found that this was a Yamaha prevented passing
of a digital signal in order to honor copyright laws. He also
offered a free upgrade chip which would then allow the signal
to be passed.I'm not sure if he had the upgrade done or if he has just routed
the digital out signal from he CD player directly to his recorder
or if he is using the analog outputs. In any case, he is now
making his own CDR's.Give us the whole scope, maybe we can help.
Regards,
Joe T.
I've never experienced that problem before. I did try a direct connection from the Dish Net receiver's optical digital output to the Pioneer 739's optical digital input, bypassing the Yamaha receiver. The results were the same. It recognized the sampling frequency as 44Khz, but would NOT recognize the actual signal.Thanks for your response. I was going to keep the HK CDR2, as a HK rep. told me a work around for monitoring while dubbing.
After trying that setup(hooking up CDP deck outputs "instead" of CD-R deck outputs), I realized now I can't monitor any sources while recording from an 'external' source. I have my minidisc player/recorder plugged directly into the HK CDR2's coaxial digital input, bypassing the receiver. The biggest problem is the dual mode function. I'm finding that whenever the record button is pushed, it puts the deck into dual mode. The dual mode forces the CDP decks output to only pass a signal directly from the CDP deck. That also forces the CD-R decks ouput to only pass a signal from the CD-R deck. So in simplified terms, any time the record function is done, the deck act as two 'separate' players. 2 ways around this would had made it a good operating deck. Either stop forcing the dual mode, and make it selectable while recording, or allow signal monitoring through the CD-R deck's outputs, while dubbing off of the internal CDP deck. Philips recorder can do this simple task, why can't the $200 more HK do it.
To finally end this rewardless adventure, the HK now makes a very loud, speaker damaging howling sound through it's analog outputs whenever the power is turned off by the front panel switch. This is it. I'm finally, completely done with these CD-R components. Maybe I'll try in a few years when hopefully all the reliability and design problems have been ironed out.
Back to minidisc!
Jim,I never actually tried to record any of the music from
the sat. dish. My sat. service is DirectTv, and I receive
some 30 + music channels. I'll have to give it a try.
I need to first relocate my dish to the other side of the
house. I had an addition put on my new home which is a
dedicated HT/Music room. I don't have my sat dish hooked up
there yet. If you like, we can continue this via e-mail
after I get set up and re-wired again.
Regards,Joe T.
