Gotta take a look at that when I get home from work!...

Me too. 89W is pretty dull now with no active tps after the weekend is over.

Low symbol rate finds on C-band. All of these were located using a V9 Prime with the T2MI toggle "ON."

97- 4022 V 373

97- 4050 V 444

After a few seconds, each of these tps locked at SQ 66% and 77/79% respectively. But I can't scan either in. I tried varying the frequencies a MHz or two but that didn't help. I'll try later in the day when signals typically get stronger.

I didn't scan in any feeds on those two either, but I suspect adding a "User channel" using the APIDS from the PDF would work on the Amiko h.265 with Hyper Casey special firmware. I just haven't tried it yet.

I tried entering each APID into the V9 for these two frequencies but couldn't play any.

I used the Amiko to manually program in some of the Westwood One syndicated radio channels on 105 C. I remember hearing these are going away soon (hope that isn't true).

The Amiko works great for radio.

Listening to the low SR WPR mux (12027 V 360) on the Amiko.

Program in the TP in the settings, let it lock, then add "User Channels" for each feed with APID's 4097, 4098, and 4099.

Thanks again Hyper Casey for making this possible on this very solid receiver.

There have been no signal drop-out's at all.

I revisited this. My Edision even when using the so-called T2MI driver with Low SR still can't lock this tp. The best it can do is show an SNR of 0.5 dB. My GT Media V9 locks readily and plays all three audio PIDs mentioned. SQ is 80%. WPR Classical is a good station to listen to.

The V9 Prime has an "AV" output. Anybody know what would work with this? I'd like to be able to hose out L and R channel audio to RCA inputs on my AVR.

This cable should work. However, the particular RCA jacks might not be labeled for what they work out to be on the V9 receiver. You'd have to figure out which color is VIDEO, then the other two would be the audio outputs. https://www.amazon.com/Camcorder-SMX-F40RN-SMX-F40BP-SMX-F40BN-SMX-F40SP/dp/B08GPS3B94

It's a cable like this: 3.5mm av cable
I haven't used it myself

What's the pinout for the V9 Prime's 3.5mm AV output?


To connect your V9 Prime's 3.5mm AV output to a display using a 3.5mm to RCA cable, it's important to understand the pinout of the 3.5mm jack. While specific pinouts can vary slightly depending on the device, a common standard for AV output on such jacks is as follows:

• Tip (innermost pin): Left audio channel
• Ring 1 (middle pin): Right audio channel
• Ring 2 (second ring from the tip): Ground (for both audio channels)
• Sleeve (outermost part of the connector): Video signal

However, some devices might reverse the positions of the video and ground signals, especially with older equipment. Some cables are designed with the ground on the sleeve instead of Ring 2

The diagram and label says "3-pin". So no video. Left/right audio only?

Added: The manual shows it can feed video, so it's a 4-pin then.

Tried it. I get audio on the left channel and distortion on the right channel. Ordered a L/R/Yellow adapter to test.

Notice that the 3.5 jack plugs of these two links have different lengths (one has a longer sleeve, than the other)!
I had this issue with a receiver myself; I needed the longer plug, but that was harder to find (at that time).

And I never noticed! I wonder if this ever caused me trouble that I didn't know about.
