Guys, I walked into several HiFi shops and then Maplin here in London. NObody seems to sells any 12V trigger cables! what's going on? what cables are you using? and can I buy it somewhere online? :??

HI bogey,
LOL! Sorry, I don't mean to make fun. It's just that I went through exactly the same confusion several weeks ago. When I found the answer, I felt pretty dumb. You have saved my self image. Thanks. :T
It would really help if the equipment manufacturers would tell us what we need to know. I'm experienced in electronics and I suspected the answer but there are about a jillion (US units
) connectors available that differ only slightly. It can be disasterous to try the wrong connector.
Go to Radio Shack and ask for an audio cable with 1/8 inch mono plugs on both ends. It's a standard cable but the Radio Shack folks did not know what I was talking about when I asked for a "Trigger Cable". In case you don't have Radio Shack available to you I will try to find a link for your reference.
Found it.
I am using the exact cable that is shown in the link and it works fine. I think the industry has standardized on this connector. Makes sense. They are cheap and available.

Thanks Karma! I got many hobbies or points of interest and there is simply no way to know all the small print. ;lx Of course I felt dumb myself! :wedgie:
It's just scary that nobody in 4 HiFi shops knew about it. They sent me to Maplin (RadioShack equivalent here in the UK). At Maplin the guy did a computer search for "Trigger Cable" but couldnt find anything, so he sent me home :evil:
I remembered reading about mono cables before, but if one doesn't know how it looks like, one doesn't know. :roll:Comment

Am new to Club Rotel and recently purchased RSP-1098 and RMB-1095. Would like to use 12v trigger from 1098 to 1095. I searched the forum for info on the trigger cable with little success.
Can someone tell me where I can get the 12v trigger cable. Is there anything special about attaching... -
I've been wanting to use the 12V trigger on my RSX 1055 to turn my RCD 1070 on. So I went to Radio Shack this past weekend looking for the "3.5 mm Mono to Mono" cable and came away empty handed. I want to make sure I'm looking for the right cable because Radio Shack sizes everything in inches.... -
Hi Everyone... Yesterday I set up the remote 12 volt trigger functionality on my 1080. I used a AC Adapter from Radio Shack (thanks for the ideas on that!). Now I am left to wonder if I've set it up correctly. Here's the deal...
The Rotel manual says to leave the power switch "ON"...
