radone Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I just received my DD-1 today and cant wait to use it. I have two questions after reading the manual. If I'm testing just a headunit thru the rca connection do I have to use a y-cable for each set of rca's or just the left or right rca or do I need to check all 6 rca connectors? When testing a headunit through an amplifier do I need to disconnect the speakers? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 For just the headunit, just check one rca plug. Disconnect the speakers. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickass audio Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 you dont have to get an adapter for it. What i did with my dd-1 and cc-1 was clip the negative lead around the outside part of the rca and hold the red probe off the tool to the middle (longer) part of the rca. I played the test tones and figured out the clipping and all that. I also just to make sure it worked the same checked my headunit through the amp just like mentioned in the manual with the same results. Some rca's you can just plug straight into the dd-1 and cc-1 however i found that only RF rca's fit in the opening as most other manufacturers have thick outer terminals that wont allow it to go into the rca connector on the tool itself unless i drill out the case on the dd-1 and cc-1 but im still skeptical about doing that and ruining such a great product.
