Hi,

The center pin is the main signal (positive) and the outer ring is the shield, or ground, which protects the signal from interference (negative).

Hope this helps,

Tip = Left Ring = Right (remember this way: "R"ing is "R"ight) Sleeve = Common (Ground)

How do you use speakers on ps3 slim without a tv as a go between reason i'm using a projector and it has no built in speakers?

You need more than just speakers. A Stereo System's Aux input might work to jury rig something that you can plug the Audio output from the PS3 and play the sound through your stereo. You could also try a Home theater system. A Sony PS3 stereo headphones set will allow you to hear the sound and also has a mic


Is the LM3914 IC protected against reverse polarity?

i would never naturally assume any circuitry to be "reverse polarity" by default even if they are. since this can fry a lot of IC, and micro controllers. there are several options to adding a reverse polarity protection circuit to your project you can find three easy to implement circuits here: http://provideyourown.com/2012/reverse-polarity-protection-circuits/


Can you reverse the polarity of AC and DC?

We have the capacity to reverse the polarity of a DC voltage, at least as regards what we apply it to. When we consider a DC motor, like, say, the ones in the little "robot wars" we see on TV, the motors can be run in reverse by reversing the polarity of the applied DC voltage. We normally consider AC as already reversing its polarity. It is, after all, AC, which is alternating current. The current alternates because the voltage alternates. We'll avoid any further discussion of the polarity of AC voltages here and leave it at that.AnswerThe problem, here, is that 'polarity' has several different meanings.Polarity, in the sense of 'electric charge' cannot really be applied to a voltage (potential difference) although it can be to a potential (although the polarity is relative; it depends on the point of reference).Polarity, in the sense of 'direction', can be applied to a voltage. For example, is the voltage acting clockwise or counter clockwise around a circuit?Polarity, in the sense of 'connection', can be applied to a voltage. For example, it's important that the line conductor is connected to the centre terminal of an Edison lamp holder or to one or other of the slots in a receptacle (power socket).

Can speaker reverse polarity damage speakers?

No. Reversing the polarity does not damage the speaker. The only issue in connecting it backwards in a stereo setup is the speaker cones will not be moving in sync with each other, so stereo imaging and bass response will suffer.
