Hi everyone, this is my first post and question to you experts. I have just treated myself with a Yamaha A670 (stand-alone amp without the cd player) and Dali spektor 2 speakers.
Without streching long i come to the point. Although i was aware that this specific Yamaha amplifier will come without a remote (remote comes with the cd player) i was expecting to achieve this goal doing some sort of diy. What i find on amp is just the rear connection for cd player ie through 3.5mm jack (cable supplied). Now what I understand is that there is no infrared receiving facility within the amp, the cd remote sends analog signal through the aux cable to switch the amp on and off and probably few more functions, but i am only concerned about switching it on/off.
I have searched internet for universal conversion but couldn’t find anything. I remember i use to have a sony wired remote that i used on my car audio system for almost all the functions, and it was through 3.5mm jack. Would there be anything similar that incould connect through this jack and achieve the switch on/off functionality? A wireless option would be a deal breaker but as the this amp is placed in a very small room, I could manage with a wired option.
I attach the photo of rear of amp with system jack connector.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
