Cd Rom Drive As H.u.

[jeffishot]

can anyone comment as this. i have seen some cars using cd rom drives as head units or players. is this ok?

[jim]

ok sya bro. maraming pampasaherong jeep ganyan ang setup although di ko masasabi na HU sya ha hehehehehe.

[wildthing]

ang gusto ko sana ay pede i-salpak dun sa cdrom drive mp3 reader.

[jeffishot]

r u familiar on how the set up is made? will u still need a head unit or will the cd room serve as the head unit?

[AC]

hindi pa po yata kaya nun mp3.. dahil kelangan ng programs pag mp3.. anyways magkano po ba ganyan? dami ko nakikita ganyan sa raon bangketa.. hehe

[niky]

Sus... old CD-ROMs can be had for dirt cheap... all you need is wiring adapting it to the car's 13v power supply.

Di ba grabeng mag-skip ang mga yun? ???

[AC]

hindi po pwede kahit anong cdrom sa alam ko.. dapat yung may play button sa harap...

hehe.. but mukha ngang grabe sa talon.. dahil.. for home use lang itong mga to

eh kung cd changers nga na dami suspension rubber stuff.. nag sskip.. hehe ganito pa kaya

Ang CD drive kasi will play audio CDs as long as there is power. I think sa headphone output dumadaan ang signal not via the IDE sa likod. Idadaan lang ang signal sa amp to power the speakers.

And tama si AC. MP3s are treated as normal data files by the CD drive. You'll need a program like Winamp to decode MP3s. And for that you'll need a computer. Pero since via headphone jack na rin ang output ng CD drive, you can use a dedicated MP3 player. Sa total gastos mo, you're better off buying an in-dash MP3 player na lang :D

Wala talaga sa IDE - may hiwalay na connector yan sa likod para sa soundcard (Analog Audio Out). Kaya lang, kung walang volume control yung amplifier, obligado ka na gamitin yung headphone jack para magamit yung volume control ng CD drive

[Zdre_Wulf]

oks yan dude... pero kailangan mo nang amp....

I use this set-up sa ride ko... pero dumadaan signal sa tape deck nang radyo ko

same purpose as discman before but mp3 capable na. advisable siya kung cassette pa ang h.u. mo at me senti sa 'yo. imho

[pitbullz]

by the way, may nakita ako sa avenida na for sale na dvd player na pwede mo isalpak sa 1 din slot mo color black. yun conrols nya mukhang pang oto ang layout

[jundogg]

guys,

can any one tell me how to set this up.
i have a cdrom and amp.

pa-explain naman panu ko i-wawire un setup???

thanks

[ghosthunter]

won't it be easier just to get a MP3 player and use a cassette adapter to connect to the existing H.U.?

Less frustration and customization that will not work perfectly whatever you do because of the nature of the devices used in extra-ordinary service.

^^^ +1.
mejo hassle yan.. makakabili ka na nga ng MP3 cd player ng 2k lang (philips i think)..

pero kung gusto mo lang i-try para walang gastos, this might help:

[buraot]

done that before..wala naman masyadong skip..

you need a cd drive with audio controls in front...ung may play, next, stop at volume...ganito gamit ko dati sa kuliglig ko, pero one month lang, tinanggal ko na...

ipon ka na lang ng pambili ng cd indash...2k+ may mabibili ka ng cd indash...maganda pang tingnan...

I saw this set up from my friend here abroad you will need to have voltage regulator for 5VDC and the other is 12VDC. The only CDROM to be or those with headphone out with volume control in the front, then use casete tape adapter for Car CD Adapter. Actually di naman tumatalon kahit me lubak

[heightdeprived]

pansin ko rin na 'di tumatalon ang CD-ROM kahit na may lubak kasi yung nababasa niya, nilalagay niya muna sa isang cache memory bago lumabas sa output at du'n nangyayari ang error correction,

about the set-up, the same 12-volt supply will be connected in series with a resistor to the 5V terminal of the CD-ROM para magkaro'n siya ng 5V tapos yun na yon, kabit na lang yung RGGL output sa likod ng CD-ROM sa CD Player connector ng HU ganu'n kasi dati HU ng owner jeep ko noon eh hehe...

may sira ako na CD rom (creative) may remote pa parepair ko kaya sayang naman kasi nakatago na lang

ok 'yan. you need to attach an IC voltage regulator (#7805) to reduce the voltage from 12v to 5v. as for the output you may use the jack on the front or use the analog output at the back to connect to an amp or HU (with tape adaptor).
