Lintronic

19 replies

Hi!

I'm going to buy a Lintronicbox to control but I still wonder if I have to boy an external IR-eye to get the signals. Can anybody tell if it's possible to use the IR-eye in my 7-40 and 6-26 to send the signal to the box and then control my harddiscrecorder and other stuff. I guess (and I'm not sure) if I can take the signal from the masterlinkcable and put it into the Lintronicbox or maybe from a scart?

Hi Jes,

 I connected SCART Pin 8 (data) and Pin 21 (ground) to IR data input of the -238 box and it works. Tested it with MX 4000 and BV7-40.
Connect your -238 box to Lintronic`s Memory map, and you can see the commands. Works also from linkrooms and in an MCL-system.
I have a Relay 108 board connected to my MCL-system and it works. 
Hope this helps

Hi Stefan!

Sounds great!!! I have the 7-40 in livingroom and 6-26 in bedroom and all other stuff in a closet about 10-11 meter between the two rooms. I guess I have to connect the 7-40 and 6-26 with a masterlink and airalcable. And then a scart from my harddiscrecorder (Sony) to 7-40 to get the signal through to 6-26. But also a hdmi same way to get the best picture on my 7-40. I the closet I have a junctionbox and hoped to get the signal to Lintronic from there... but can I get it from the scart getting into my harddiscrecorder? What I'm not sure about is if there always will be sending a signal through this scart to the Lintronic?

Sorry about my confusion!

The SCART-cable just sends commands in the video mode you defined for the AV socket. If you choose V.MEM for the socket, the -238 box only receives commands in V.MEM mode. I noticed one problem in my BV7-40 MK II setup: DVD2 mode (V.TAPE2) is detected as V.MEM.
But that doesn`t really matter. I also tried to send and receive commands on masterlink via beolink converter on my AV9000 but no luck - not yet.

Nice... Then your can control it from a link room. Nice job 🤒

Hi Stefan,
Could you make a schematic drawing of the connections? How do you connect from the scart to the Lintronic box (what is the IR data input on the Lintronic box) ?

Hi Frank,

the IR input on the Lintronic box is a 3,5 mm jack connector at the back of the box called Input, ext. data input, infrared, RF,etc.
You need a 3,5 mm stereo jack, but you only need 2 pins: B= IR signal, C= Ground. 
You connect IR signal to pin8 and ground to pin21 (SCART). That`s it.

OK, thanks a lot Stefan

Fantastic Stefan!

I'll give it a try... Do you know if I can take the signal at the end where I have the harddiscrecorder (10 meter from my 7-40), because I would like to have my Lintronic 238 at the same place as my other stuff it's going to control. Then I don't have to make my TT-IR-ET03 Infrared Emitter longer.
