I'm using a Dcell battery pack with my UA-5 well attempting to anyway. 2, 4 battery sleds so 8 batteries in total = 1.5x8 = 12 volts. It also seems to work with 7 batteries.
Anyway heres the problem I can't get it to pass a digital signal to my deck on the battery pack. I've tried both a coax and optical 7pin and i get no levels, however i don't get the no input flashing on the deck. I plug in the AC and i get levels just fine.
I was planning on using this at a show tonight and unless I can get house power it looks like I will have no choice but to go analog in to my deck which does work just fine.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening. I guess this means a d cell battery with the ua5 just wont work. I know I should be running the RC pack but one of the parts is not availible at radioshack canada apperently and I dont own a soldering gun.
this is so frustrating ???

2 packs connected in series or paralel?? Sounds like maybe you're feeding it 6 volts and not 12.
to get 12 volts all the batteries need to be connected + to -. This means you'll have to find a way to put the sleds in series with each other.

you're right i am feeding it 6 volts...

don't think it works off 6 volts. Mine does run fine off 7.2 though

i rewired to have then running in series and now its running off 12 vots ;D
so happy, i was going to have to lug my UPS from my pc to provide power lol.
as far as running on 6volts everything worked except for digital out (in too probably)
