MCL system with MCL2E and MCL2A problems
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 7, 2010 12:25You know what, guys? This is weird but I'm not complaining and I only hope it goes on for some time. I worked out that a reason for the one-way behaviour of some of my transceivers could be explained by faulty cabling. F…

MCL system with MCL2E and MCL2A problems
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 7, 2010 05:05No. My understanding is that I need to switch off the whole system, connect the MCL2E, then swich back on and finally plug in the MCL2E. Does that sound about right?
MCL system with MCL2E and MCL2A problems
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 6, 2010 17:05Not as such, Mika. I kind of trusted it worked and at first I connected the cables wrongly and nothing worked (I had them linked the wrong way round). I changed them and then at least I got some music out of the speakers…

MCL system with MCL2E and MCL2A problems
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 4, 2010 17:48Hi :) Thanks a lot for this. At the moment I have 5 working ones and I am hoping I can fix the one that's blown, too, so there will be 6 in total using MCL. I've found this one at Maplin, unless I am reading this wrongly…

Faulty MCL2A box and transceivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 29, 2010 14:48Brilliant, thanks a lot for the advice! Now all I need to do is lift a few floorboards, drill a few holes in my floor and walls and get a couple of pairs of Beovox's. What a supercool project! Thanks again, Mika :)
Faulty MCL2A box and transceivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 29, 2010 14:31I think ripping such things off like that should be punished somehow ... at least a whack across the head... Do you have any idea about the 12V power cord for the MCL2E, Mika? Can it be just any cord or should it be of a…
Faulty MCL2A box and transceivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 29, 2010 14:19Last question, I promise ;) Now that all the boxes and transceivers are working (yey!), I will need to use an MCL Expander box. I have such an MCL2E, but it came without the mains adaptor. Would any 12V adaptor do or sho…
Faulty MCL2A box and transceivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 29, 2010 14:05Brilliant! Took the box to a friend who's nifty with soldering, measured the fuse and found it was broken, replaced it with a 100mA one (couldn't find an 80mA one anywhere - hope that's ok) and now everything is working …
Faulty MCL2A box and transceivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2010 18:16[quote user="tournedos"] I'm sorry Dragos that you didn't get any help earlier, but it is a bit difficult when all we know is that something doesn't work 🙁 The part in the middle of the PCB is a fuse. It may have been a…
Faulty MCL2A box and transceivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2010 18:13Yep, me again... I looked and found (I hope the right) replacements for 2 of the bits which seem to have burnt. Unfortunately, I can't see a T 80mA 250V FUSE anywhere... Any ideas? Of course, if you think what I'm doing …
Faulty MCL2A box and transceivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2010 17:49Well, guys, this is turning into a monologue - thanks! The good news is that my transceivers are working now! I had bought a third one off e-bay but it didn't have a back cover, so I thought about giving it one from the …
Faulty MCL2A box and transceivers
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 28, 2010 15:37I gather it's not worth bothering trying to repair the kit... fair enough. Would a magic eye be a good substitute for the MCL2A transceivers or must I stick with the original setup? Thanks, Dragos
