Headphone Bypass modification Yamaha RX-V1000

[nowgrn4]

I need a variable audio out to run a Logitech 5.1 system(stereo only not surround 5.1) out by my grilling area. The headphone jack works great for this but it shuts off the main speakers inside when a plug is inserted.I want the speakers to continue when a headphone plug is inserted.

Does anyone have schematics for this unit? Inside the receiver which wire or wires on the headphone jack do I want to cut off the contact(that bypasses the main speakers) and reconnect together on another contact to keep the main speakers operating when a headphone plug is inserted?

Thanks for any and all input.

Do you have a Zone 2 output? You can make (or buy) a line level converter and send that to the grill area. It's cheap, easy and it works.

I tried the zone 2 outs and all I got was a HUUUMMMMMM. Sounds like a good idea but according to my manual only analog signals will be output in zone 2.All my sources are digital(blue ray,CD, and Sat receiver audio all via fiber optic cables).

I just got off the phone with a HT Guru.He said go into the receiver with RCA plugs from my sources to get analog signals in addition to the fiber optic digital cables and it should work using zone two out.

So add an analog feed to the source inputs like everyone else does when they want to use Zone 2. They don't need to be anything special.

If you connected a cable to another amp and got hum, you have a ground loop and will need to address that before any kind of connection is made.

I did the analog patches and now I'm set.Plenty of volume outside and no HHUUMMMMM...

I'm using the zone two out to feed the Logitech system.I just have to address the zone two source selector switch for the signal.

Now to put the living room back together and get the Christmas tree up by the time my WW gets home at 6:30.

Thanks again.
