Hi there, First time in this forum, so be gentle to the noob! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
I've been looking for some old skool sounds for my old skool car, and scored this little lot on ebay for a stupidly low price, but although it's old, I'm having a few problems with hooking it all up successfully!
The CD player is a 5903S and is a dedicated CD player, it has no tuner, and no internal amp. there are 6 RCA sockets on the back, 4 are the front and rear pre-outs, and the other pair are line-ins.
The wiring on the CD player is mostly straightforward, but i'm not sure what the two brown/whites, and two blue/whites do?
The tape player is a 7293J has 2 pairs of RCA sockets, but I don't know if these are are a front and rear pair of pre-outs, or a pair of pre-outs and a pair of line-ins?
The tape player has an internal amp with 4 channels (all 25 watts!) and the wiring that came with it connects to the CD player wiring, so they share +12v, ign switched 12v, ground, and illumination, but this loom too features a brown/white, and blue/white that I'm not sure of.
Also, when I tested these, the CD player has lost the lighting around the fader, bass, and treble controls, is this easy to fix? New bulbs?
The tape player screen didn't light up either, but if held up to the light, you can see the numbers and symbols changing, is this also a bulb issue?
Ok, last questions! This unit also came with the head units, its a 5980 "CD changer audio control unit" but I have no idea what it does? when googled, it comes up as an in dash 3 disc head unit. Is this part of that unit? if so, I guess it's good to have around should I ever find the matching head unit!
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give!
I'm on the hunt for manuals for old Alpine stuff if anyone has any they are willing to part with btw!
