I bought a technics tape deck, but later realised that it needed its conventional amp to power it as it didn't have a dedicated power source. The typical phono outputs are there to connect to my existing amp however it came with a flat cable (To Amp) which is probably its power source. Not sure what to do with it, there's seem to be NO WAY to power it up. I ca connect to my amp alright, but how to power it??? Please advise |

A friend bought this tape deck too, but he can't power it. He ask me to shearch on the web for a power solution, but I don't find the Website of the constructor. Can you help me, if you find a solution, of course! (sorry for the language but I'm french) |

It is a rca cable should be available in electronics stores. This helps to power-up all components at the same time |

I have the same problem - Technics RS-X102 has no power source.
What type of RCA cable would work here? Is it one that has an adapter so it has its own power feed? |

Hmm ... Sounds interesting ... Do you have the manual ? It almost reminds me of "Plug-In-Power" that many microphones use ... What exactly is does the "flat" cord look like ... what are on it's ends? |

There are no fancy ways to power it up. Get a power cord, plug it in, push the power button. If it does not turn on the first time, you have a second hand broken deck. |

On the back of the RS-X102 tape deck it clearly states that it needs 25 Volts AC power. This is normally supplied through the flat cable from a matching Technics Amplifier. The RCA cables have nothing to do with the power, they are purely for the audio signals. I have several of these tape decks, but no matching amplifiers. I purchased some 24 volt AC plug pack power supplies thinking I could get the tape decks working, but when I connected one up it wouldn't power on at all. I've since found out that there is some kind of switching signal coming down the flat cable from the amplifier. There is no on/off button on the tape deck. It has to be powered on from the amplifier. BUT maybe it is possible to bypass this function and somehow make it so the tape deck turns on whenever it gets power (from an external source like the 24 volt ac plug packs I purchased). The tape deck also has 3 x 3.5mm control input and output connections on the back. These are for relaying commands from a cordless remote that actually comes with the matching AM/FM Tuner. I have one of these tuners and remote, but sadly no amplifier.
You can buy a service manual for the RS-X102 from "user-manuals.com" for $14.95, but it probably won't explain how to get the unit powered from any other power source other than the matching amplifier. If anyone can help with a suitable technical solution and wiring diagram please let me know. |

I have a very similar problem. I've just bought a second-hand RS-X320 tape deck with matching amp (SU-X320) but no connecting power cable.
It unuseful that a lot of part suppliers on the web don't supply proper descriptions of the parts they're selling - just a part/model number and price.
I've been scouring the internet to at least find the part number for the cable. No luck so far, but I have found a service manual for the amp and purchased it. I hoping the manual will have the part number of the required cable.
So I'm just waiting to download the manual - I'll keep you informed. |

FYI, the site where I'm getting the service manual from is http://www.manuals-in-pdf.com - search for "RSX320" or "SUX320". The owner's manual and service manual are available there. I suspect the Panasonic version of the manuals are the same as the Technics versions.
The User/Operating Manuals are available else where on the web for free download - but they don't have the part number of the connector power cable. Like I said, I'm hoping the service manual has the part number which will help with my problem at least. |
