tacima cs929

Hi,

New angle on old topic

How deep is this extension? I have a 50mm deep cable management space in my omnimount mwf-8 shelving , so if this is 30mm thick / deep I should be ok.

Could someone measure one please

thanks

33mm

thanks,

I need to measure some plugs carefully i think.

(or chase the wall out ^^)

PS3 plug is 28mm

remeasure of space is max 55mm

looks like the wallpaper gets it

 

[Anonymous]

Hmm, well my XBOX 360 plug is 22 mm.

Let's see, 33 + 22 = 55. So logic dictates that your PS3 should be the one that gets it, leaving your wallpaper to breathe a sigh of relief.

Its a moot point, I have tried the tacima in the omnimount mwf8 cable management system and it will foul the frame as well, so I either have to:

a) fit thinner plugs to everything

b) cut the frame out and the wall plus paper

c) put the tacima on the wall behind the TV (wall mount is 90mm)

Never let it be said I take the easy way out but c) is looking like a good choice on reflection ?

either that or I sell the tacima lol.

do you think it would affect the tacima's performance if i fitted an equal quality but longer power lead to the block. I haven't unscrewed the connection bit yet so I don't know how the mains lead is made off, but i imagine its screw terminals. the cables about 400mm to short now everything is in place.

I don't see why it would affect performance, although obviously it'll invalidate the warranty. Not such a big deal on a £30 piece of kit. I would, however, recommend taking it to your friendly local electrical shop and getting a pro to do it, unless you really, really know what you're doing. It is 240 volts after all.

Or am I just being hysterical? Comments anyone?

darn. it has those can't take em out screws

Yes you are "He who dares", etc. No that id do it for all the tea in china, but im a technophobe (yeah, in the wrong place, i know) and a wuss.

Its only a rewire, not rocket science, just cant get the damn screws out.

need to go to electrical wholesaler to see if they have anything to help

 

[Anonymous]

I have this unit as well, and it is not possible to remove the tamper proof screws unless you drill them out!

I fed the mains lead into a junction box (under the floor) on a dedicated mains spur.

 

[Anonymous]

I have given up and fixed the unit to the skirting board under the omnimount mwf8's which sit right on top of the skirting - not invisible but fairly well out of site.

To busy lusting after a new onkyo 606 av amp and trying to figure out the best blag to run on sky for discounted hd. I don't mind the £10 / month, and they offered me the box for £150, its the £60 install and £10 multi room i object to, i already give them £60 a month, and my friend is a sky installer who would set me up for a few beers.

cheers anyway

Dear All,

I've just purchased the Tacima CS929 and wish to introduce her to the rest of my 'Hi-fi' family. I also own a Voltage Regulator, just wondering, should I install the tacima after / before the voltage regulator?

Bear in mind that I will also be connecting my TV (with RF) to the Tacima. So will this setup be counter productive? i.e. isolate noise from mains but later introduce RF noise back via the Tacima + rest of equipment?

Appreciate if some 'Gurus' can give me some pointers.

I'm intrigued What do you mean by a voltage regulator?

Dear Jim,

As we all know, incoming voltage to most residential areas fluctuates depending on the voltage consumption within that area; i.e. day and night power consumption is different. In order to maintain/regulate the outgoing voltage to our equipment, a Voltage Regulator is used whereby this device regulates the incoming voltage whenever there is fluctuation. As a result, the output voltage can be maintained to ensure an optimum voltage supply which should provide optimum performance to the equipment.

Rgds,

What make is it, if you don't mind me asking? Why do you think it necessary?
