Alpine setup w/ PS2... Engine "whine".....
Hey folks, I've got a problem with engine "whine" coming through my
sound setup when the Playstation 2 is active and being used.... I have an Alpine CDA-7897 Head unit, connected via Ai-Net to a KCA-801B which then connects to a CHA-1214 12 disc changer. For screens, I have one TME-M760 in the front and 2 TME-M580's in the rear. The 580's get their A/V feed from the LINK output on the 760 and the PS2's A/V plugs into the AUX3 inputs on the 760. I split the audio out from the 760 to the KCA-801B, so audio goes to the head unit AND to the rear screens. But now I hear the engine whine through the AUX source on the HU..... It's more related to the PS2, because if I unplug the PS2's A/V from the 760, it doesnt happen. What causes this and what can I do to get rid of it? Only thing I can think of is the PS2's power isn't regulated. it gets whatever the alternator is putting out.. Would the voltage spikes be causing that? I do have a 12VDC-DC converter somewhere I could try... Thanks! - Mobster75! |

Even if they were it wouldn't matter. Almost everyone I know that's
installed a PS2 has had some noise issues to work out. What are you using to power the PS2? Paul Vina "Tha Ghee" wrote in message ... "Robert Drake" wrote in message om...

Paul Vina this is very true if I was him/them I would put in a PSone less noise problems or a Xbox. |
