CR-201

Post by 360beast » 12 Apr 2016 06:52 am

Does anyone have a photo of the back of a CR-201 radio? I want to know what the din plug looks like or if it even has one, don't want to risk breaking anything removing mine at the moment.

I'm guessing the back will be the same as a CR-101? That's the eighties high-tec "MTS" cassette stereo right?

I've got one in the shelf at home, can take a pic later. In the meantime ... I'm pretty sure it will look like this:

Hi Tom

Sorry, I forgot I put this thread up.

Is there a plug on the back like the one in this thread on retro rides as I would like to get one of these auxiliary inputs.

There are two DIN sockets at the back of the radio, for a graphic equaliser, and an external amp:

I'd have to have a closer look at the pattern though, it's not visible from that picture.

OK, there you go!

Seems to have a different pattern to the one on retro rides ...

(From memory, it's some time since I've had them apart)

CR-201 differs to the CR-101 only is respect of the not having an AVI button, but having a loudness one instead.

There needs to be some sort of jumper plug in one of those DIN plugs on the rear, otherwise the internal pre-amp is not connected to the output amp of the set and subsequent no sound output. I've got a couple of those of those separate amps in the shed somewhere.

Without the jumper plug, it's a handy break in the circuitry to shove in some external signal.

This might be useful (short plug goes into EQ socket) if no amp is used.
