[slinkelist] Trying to understand cross-fading requirements

[Ken Geoffrion]

Ted, et al.

Just a little more FWIW stuff:

You just reminded me that once in awhile my 350 doesn't power down -- the 
260 slave always does.  The 350 will sometimes power the 260 back on, if I 
try to turn the 260 off manually, but I seldom use the manual controls on 
the players.

I always leave my computer and CDJ running.  I have CDJ macros driven mostly 
by IR and X10 events to control my a/v equipment.  For instance when it 
receives a VCR or DVD power on command, I issue a Sleep command to shutdown 
the CD players, switch a/v inputs, power up the tv, etc.  These macros work 
almost flawlessly.  Once in a great while the 350 doesn't shut off.

FWIW

I've had great success with my 240 controlling both a 240 and a 225 (e.g. I 
don't remember ever noticing any problems at all), but when my 300 controls 
a 240 now and then weird things happen, e.g. I can't get the slave to play 
either from CDJ or with it's buttons or with the masters buttons (with mega 
control), also at times when CDJ closes the 300's slave is the only jukebox 
which doesn't power down.

     What players are you using? When I attempt to use CDJ to run my players
in master-slave mode (a 270 controlling a 250 and a 90ES controlling a 225),

the master player overrides any selection I make on the slave with CDJ.
About one per cent of the time, I manage to play a track from a slave player

with CDJ, but I cannot explain why it works.  It seems random.

     David and Colby, is there a chance that you might build a few of the
circuits you have posted on your site? I would like to control three pairs
of
Sony players from Slink-e and CDJ, so, from what I understand, the circuit
needs a slight modification.

     Thank you.

  I've had my two players in master/slave for over a year, and you're right,
it isn't 100% reliable, but it is 99% reliable.  Now that I have a DXS, I am

thinking about implementing the s-link switching circuit suggested by Colby
(and documented on the Nirvis website
http://www.nirvis.com/masterslave.htm).
  Will this give me the additional 1% reliability?  Have any other of you
Slink-e Weenies had good success with the s-link switching circuit?

  Thanks,

  Unfortunately CDJ will not operate reliably with the players in a
  master/slave configuration.
