Dvd Install,need Help.

[Trust33]

Hi Boys and girls.

My install for dvd player and separate motorised tv has come to a hault.

--->>My first problem is i have absolutly no sound,and,i dont know what the problem is.This is my second head unit not to work.the first one i took out because i thought that it was rooted i have checked the fuses under the dash (driver side).<<---

I am thinking a full speaker/system rewire.I so dont want to go that route.

Can any1 shed some light on the problem please.

And my second problem is the current unit will take the dvd 1/2 way in and it will keep on pulling it but it wont go any further.That problem can be sorted through the seller i bought it from..The other one though i need some help with.

Some cd/dvd players have a screew on the top of them that you need to remove before the cd/dvd will go in.

for no sound check you have teh right rca cables plugged in.

then does the head unit alone play sound , if so its your rca cables, if the head unit doesant have sound at all, even on the radio, its the wiring of the head unit.

They are in talks with their partner/distributors who they buy them off they said.I dont know why they just cant take it and replace it for me.I think they are trying to get it fixed under warranty tho they havent said it yet.

You know that a 2 min convo over the phone will save a week and a halfs worth of emailing back and forth messages with 1 liner answers.

I will look into that.But it's not my wiring.The cd and radio wouldnt produce sound.

The stereo was working fine b4 hand and i havent touched it since.Tho i did notice that the antenna coax was severed pretty severely and taped up with electrical tape by a previous owner,which still doesnt explain why i have had no cd sound.I think that the wiring is earthing out in the pillar tweeter,which,i had taken off to get he guages out.I still have to check,but there are a couple of metal clips that hold the plastic pillar in place and one of them may have damaged a wire earthing it,from pushing the pillar back into place..

In electrical systems a earthed positive wire causes allot of electrical damage,even worse if left unfixed.

I think in the stereos case it wont affect the power to the system but it will affect the sound system itself.Well thats my current theory yet to be put to the test.

What I would reccomend you do: pull the whole lot out and start again, run new heavy duty cables, ensure all your connections are solid, take your time with it and it will reward you. I will generally spend a day or two installing a good system, and every time it works first time

why dont you pull the head unit out and attach a speaker directly to the head unit harness. then you will know if its the head unit or your wiring. like this

[jasont82]

obviously the other wires will still be connected, i just set that up on my bed for a photo.
