Unable to scan b/w neg's correctly using Digital ICE

Usually the wire with the stripe is negative in my experience. Like on this diamond audio micro 4.

INPUT: Yellow (left front), violet (left neg), green (left rear), Blue (right rear), Brown (right neg), Gray (right front)
OUTPUT: Front Left pos (green/red) neg (green), Front Right pos (gray/red) neg (gray), Left Rear neg (brown) pos (brown/red), Right Rear neg (white) pos (white/red)

Try using a slightly off-white background sheet behind the negative (glass-negative-sheet-scanner lid) first, or a "frame" around the negative that is anything but white... some scanners have an auto-detect feature that may be skewed for one reason or another.

Another trick, from a photographer friend, is to take saran wrap or another transparent but non-reflective material and place as a filter between the negative and glass, thus reducing glare. The sharpness may be lessened, but the glare is also lessened...

Hope this helps!

"One has positive and negative input, another positive and negative output (red and black on each)"

Just from your description, it sounds like pos/neg input are the 12 volt pos neg supply for the amp inside the subwoofer. Red is pos, black is neg.

"positive and negative output (red and black on each)"

This sounds like it's used if you want to proved 12 volt pos/neg to another component.

"and a third wire with left input right input positive and negative (blue, red, yellow and black)"

This is for the cables coming from the "subwoofer out" on the amp. This is 4 wires altogether -- correct?

You really cannot scan a neg without a special holder. I recommend paying $90 to Costco and buying their special USB Scanner which scans one neg at atime! They are great!

Thanks,

I am guessing the cable is figure 8 two cores attached to form a single cable. The core with the line down it is very often the - and the plain the + however it is irrelevant, as long as the cable that is connected to the source, CD, or whatever, the colour that goes to + there, must go to + at the speaker terminals, likewise the - must be connected in the same way neg to neg. This follows for ALL the speakers connected to the system as if you get a pos+ connected to a neg- it will cause the speakers to be "Out of Phase" and could cause sound distortion. Rule of thumb, without any stripes or line black, is usually negative -

tdohnke-So you need a wiring diagram,well lets see what we got
red-accessory-12volt key switched
orange-12volt constant-memory
black-ground
white-left front speaker-positive
white with black stripe-left front speaker negative
grey-right front speaker-pos.-
grey w/black stripe-right front-neg.
green-left rear-pos.
green w/black stripe-left rear-neg
purple-right rear-pos.
purple w/black stripe-right rear-neg.
blue- remote turn on
orange w/white stripe-dimmer-optional
Try out this diagram,they are pretty much all the same now,if I missed any let me know. cooltek Mar,4/08

318lawless- these wires are the speaker outputs,the white is left front positive and the white with the black strip is left front negative. grey right front positive, the grey/black is neg. the purple is right rear,purple black neg.green is left rear,green black isneg. If you have any further questions let me know. cooltek Mar,3/08

Have you change with a new battery?

Or check the battery with a DVM(digital volt meter).

Or get some batteries and connect in series to equal to that voltage and use two wire leads. One lead to -negative side of the battery, other lead to +positive. Now, -neg to neg of camera and +pos to pos of camera.

You now have power to the camera to test. This will save money rather than buying the camera's battery for testing. AA, C or D will work, just look on the camera's battery to see the right voltage.

Examples: with two batteries (1.5VDC + 1.5VDC = 3..0VDC). So -(negative) of one battery to + (positive) of the second battery with solder.

-(-neg, battery, pos+) solder to -(neg, 2nd battery, pos+)+

left side , use black wire on -(Neg) and solder
right side, use red wire on +(Pos) and solder.

Now you have two leads, use those to connect to camera.

Do you get data from viewfinder?

red - power
Black - Ground
Blue/Black - rear Left Speaker Positive
Blue - Rear Left Speaker Neg
White/ Black - Front Left Speaker Positive
White - Front Left Speaker Neg
Brown/Black - Rear Right Speaker Positive
Brown - Rear Right Speaker Neg
Yellow/Black - Front Right Speaker Positive
Yellow - Front Right Speaker neg
Green - Left Input Positive
Green/White Left input Neg
Gray Right Input Positive
Gray/White - Right input Neg
