I have a car audio at home (Pioneer-SDVP7) but i bought as is condition.
HOw can i test at home (without a car battery) if it powers up or not?

thanks,

what is it, an amp or a head unit?

whatever it is i think you'll need a 12 volt battery to see if it powers up. how else would you test it.

dannygenio

110volt?? too strong?..

Tcguy85

what is it?

i googled it. it's a dvd player? you need a 12 volt source to see if it powers on. you'll need to hook up both the positive and turn on lead to a 12volt source and the ground to a 12 volt source as well.

head unit

Tcguy85

you know thats not really a head unit right? it's a dvd player meant to be run with a head unit.

dannygenio

yea... i got a pioneer screen..but a JVC headunit......so i don;t think this dvd player will work at all

Tcguy85

hmmmm... yea i don't know. i don't know anything about that unit.

you'll have to run that off a 12v power supply....did a quick search and dug this up...you'll need something similar to it: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ele/500989810.html

a computer power supply puts out +12V...google it for the current and other specs.
