Z5500 Control pod

I know on the sub in the book etc it says not to extend it with a normal vga lead but why is this?

Is there anyway of extending the control pod atall?

Cheers.

No, i've looked into doing this, i even went to the stage of taking my speaker system apart and seeing which wires are actually wired up in the plug.

A normal VGA lead is wired up differently to the Z5500 speaker system so it won't work.

Yep found some info on it last night, it is easily do-able though!

Link?

Couldn't with my Z680's, will be interested to see if you can with the Z5500's.

However with further reading seems like providing its a fully wired 15pin connector it will work, a few guys ended up making one themselves because you can't guarentee which lead will work, few have had ground loop issues, i must have only had 14pin wired VGA leads.

Ill have a look see if i can find it in a bit, although all I did was search extending Z5500 control pod on google and found plenty of people who have done it using different methods!
