Managed to get a 5A BT MCU off ebay last night, and have been searching through the forums since trying to collate the various posts on how to get best use out of it (once it arrives). There's a few posts, in separate threads, that either contradict each other, or are left unanswered to some degree. So, a few questions if I may...
- Do they run hot ie do they need good ventilation on all sides?
- I understand the 5A fuse can be replaced with a 13A fuse without too much worry - is this correct?
- If the fuse is replaced, I just need to make sure the total current of all components connected is less than 13A? (And current can be calculated by dividing the power consumption figure in the manual by 230(V) eg Onkyo 876 = 870/230 = 3.8A)
- Correct config would be to plug MCU into the mains socket, then Tacima 929 into the MCU? Or does the Tacima become somewhat redundant and any gang/way extension lead could be used?
Thanks in advance...
