    VIC 1 and ipod etc

    So maybe that special cable might be a better option? The way I set the vic up is: batteries to 1029(rt524)- back to vic on the 501 port to have rx/tx capability through vic. Then -1029(rt524) power jumped to 1029 (vrc53) 1029 (vrc53) is stand alone- that way i kept the 508 port on the vic...

    VIC 1 and ipod etc

    Ok some great ideas I'll clean the contacts tomorrow. As far as contact cleaner- any recommendations Should that not work or even if it does I will begin to look for the headphone amp. Does apple manufacture these? Or are there several makers? Also, if the Vic is calling for a 2v input Would...
