But, does anyone use an anything-to-Sony stalk adapter?

I wonder if current Sony's still use the same old protocol like the one the Empeg understands.

Well, usually when they talk about a wired adapter, they *ARE* talking about the RM-X2S and RM-X4S system (the resistor values). So I'd assume that yes, that's what they're talking about.

On Tod's system, though, there's a problem. For some reason, the resistor values seem to be ever-so-slightly-off on the converter, so that the empeg's interpreter doesn't always quite get the values and the buttons don't always work. Also, the converter seems to send stray values some of the time, causing the player to poltergeist on him, and he's actually had to disable the stalk converter in software until we can fix it or find another solution.

We're not sure where the problem lies. I haven't actually worked on it lately, even though there are now features in Hijack that would help me to track down the exact source of the issue and correct it. It's just been a question of time. Whenever Tod and I get together, we're usually interested in doing something entertaining rather than work on his car stereo.

So even though those anything-to-sony adapters are supposed to work, I'm not sure they're all created equal.
