How do I locate the audio chip?

Post by manuba » Mon Apr 06, 2009 12:09 pm

ok I know the book is using a mini snes so don't go there. :lol:

I have a 1992 snes board and I believe that makes it a gen2 small board snes(the controller pin out says 1991) so the chips are much different from the mini. My question is how do I locate L/R audio, also do I have to run two channel stereo or can I simply run two speakers in parallel from the mono out? and what impedance do I wire my speakers for?

closest thing I can come up with is; NEC D6376 925OCK - Info I found says that the snes audio was an 8 channel chip so this was the only 8 pin chip on board. When I looked up this chip the only thing I found was an arcade 2ch audio in street fighter?

You lucked out :) The large SNES supports stereo right on the AV out connector.

You rock!

Ok not to sound too retarded, how do I wire in composite (av cables, right?)jacks so that I can hook it up to a tv for testing. Board had bad rf output and the plug for the av cables was torn off. It was free so I figured why not try it but can't test it without plugs :cry: .

When you say av jacks, do you mean RCA jacks? if so, then all you have to do is wire one straight to the corresponding pin. E.g. yellow-video, white-left audio, red-right audio.

And also connect ground to each one at the appropriate spot. There's really not much to explain.
