    Two audio outputs into one 8 ohm speaker

    Go with a cheap two-input mixer and turn down the inputs. Of course, you'll need an amplifier for the output to drive the single speaker. The nice thing about a cheap mixer is that the input level controls probably are immediately after the input connectors, rather than after some input...

    DVD Recorder - drive failing

    Panasonic DMR-EZ48V My long-serving DVD / VCR recorder is failing. When the DVD drive loads disk, the head searches 4 times at one speed, then one more time at a slower speed, then it stops and puts up an error message to check the disk. Same for all disks, commercial DVDs, discs recorded on...

    Sony Beta Alignment Tape

    If by "variations" you mean the listing of the test signals, which ones are confusing? Color Bars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMPTE_color_bars Multiburst: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiburst In video terms, a Monoscope is a multi-purpose test signal. It usually combines color bars...

    LED traffic light power question

    Don't know why there are *two* axial components per LED, but it looks like there is current limiting per LED built into the board. Dan you give us the component values? The numbers work out to around 6 mA per LED. That seems low to me, even for a high-reliability device. Also, that...

    Dual-Output (Step-Up/Step-Down) DC-DC Converter via Shared Inductor Loop

    Why are you using p-channel FETs? I see only one output. Why is C1 connected to the positive supply rather than GND. Both are zero-ohm voltage sources. Please post the gate drive waveform, with voltages. ak

    Loop parasitic

    Way too small of an image. Those serpentines are there because the speed of light is not infinite. For improved noise immunity, very high frequency signals often are routed as a differential pair of traces instead of a single trace. It is critically important that the two traces be of equal...

    Loop parasitic

    Do you really expect an answer to that? Take a moment, step back, look at what you wrote, and ask yourself this: Does anyone else in the world know shat that means? ak
