power connector pinout question

I bought a Rosen R5000 12V VCR that came without the power cable. Rosen tech support would only give me the part number (VCP Power Cable 15' (Black) - 6015-1013-000) which costs more than I paid for the vcr.

Does anyone have one of these that could tell me where the black, red and blue cable go.

Thanks in advance,

Darren

open it and look at the board right where the plug should go most electronic boards have abbreviations to what goes where just pay attention while u take it apart so that u can put it back together........oh yeah one more thing go to radio shack and buy u'r self a static band they cost about 2 bucks this is to avoid static to certain components on vcr as they may be samaged due to static..............................Later,AudioPro111

I tried that one already. I am a computer technician so I had the screwdriver out as soon as there wasn't a pinout in the owners manual. The connection is a standard 4 pin molex (Like in a power supply for a Pentium 4 computer).

The back of the vcr looks exactly like this clarion

Thanks for the suggestion though, I am open to them all.

sorry dude i thought that would do the trick.AudioPro111

If it takes DC V from the get go, open it back up. Many 12V-18VDC have 4 pin plugs (the PS2 does, in fact). There are really only 2 things they could be. +V, and GND. You can probably find the ground with a DMM quite easy. Look for a large patch of copper on either side of the PCB. Also, do a continuity test to match those pins (2 should be connected, and the other 2 connected together, but not connected to the first pair). If you can't find a ground patch, check the parts, look for a regulator with a part number you can check for online. Then you can be sure it is ground. The other 2 pins of that connector should be the +V. Good luck, any questions, let us know. I did the same thing when I converted a PS2 to 12VDC, so I know you can do it. DXAV
