fm modulator

[epo]

does for example a dvd player (in car) get its live feed from the fm modulator

[Nick]

I take you mean a Frequency modulated modulator ? lol

just trying to think why you'd need one. i'l dig out some of my A-level notes and work it out if your 100% stuck !

[epo]

so i can hear my dvds mate

[Nick]

erm i'd say no for the live feed on the DVD player...

FM modulation is where a wave is modulated by freqeuncy , an alternative to AM which is amplitude modulation.

Seeing as it's dealing with sound then i'd say the DVD player would need the same live as a PS would need ? is that straight from the invertor ?

that's Freq mod.

so i'd definetly say that you don't use the FM modulator output as the live feed (power) to the Dvd player ?

i'm a bit rusty and i lost my brimicombe book, someone else may beable to correct me

[epo]

yeah your right it came to me this morning its me being daft
i think i may have a problem with the dvd player ill have to strip it down

thanks anyway

[Nick]

yep, i don't think the DVD player would be too happy having a Feqeuncy modulated signal as it's input.

it needs a nice clean 230 peak V Sine wave !

[epo]

cant work out why it wont work at the moment

[epo]

jobs sorted now it was me being as thick as shite can now watch football factory and layer cake in the car :+:

[Nick]

good work, what was up with it ?

[epo]

the fm modulator was suposed to power the dvd player and do the signal via two leads off one fag lighter the power lead was bolloxed also forgot where the signal wire plugs into

i had a power feed lead which has now been hard wired in i just need to buy a 1amp fuse + holder to complete the job

it was down to me mainly forgetting how its wired :oops: :lol:

[epo]

where does the fm modulator plug into on an xbox then?

[Chris]

the FM modulator will plug into your headunit mate

Give me a ring and I'll explain how it all work together

Chris

[epo]

nice one ta just called you mate :lol:
ps answer the phone :wink:

[Chris]

was at work mate, cant always have my phone on my person depending where I am.

Not sure the technical term for what you need.

Anyone got any ideas?

Epo needs a box to split some A/V signal cables, just like RCA leads?

yeah i know mate am only messing :wink:

Chris

an A/V splitter lol ?

i think i know what you mean, but i don't know the name of it.. il try find brimicombe , he'l know !

[epo]

ill have a look on ebay for an av splitter too

[Dave]

for my ps2 i have the red + yellow wires from the ps2 into the modulater and out of that into the aux conecter on my head unit via rca leads but the head unit and modulater are both pioneer so don't know if it would work the same with different makes??

[Chris]

Epo's is a standalone unit, the FM modulator doesnt actually connect to the stereo, it is a small transmitter so he need a junction box for the two inputs (DVD and XBOX) to go into the one

Chris

i think you might get something from johns on the high street mate that will do the job, 2 RCA to one right?? im sure ive seen bits of kit lying around that will do that. If not try computer/dvd places. I know ive deffo seen that sort of stuff at the computer fair in Donny.

[bump]

you didn't say which way tyhey needed splitting
ie 1 into 2 or other way round

these should be able to help
