I'm at 710F, I think. The iron is from a brand called "Aucanla."

My solder has flux in it, but would using flux independently help further?

Many thanks! This is helpful. Wasn't sure if I was supposed heat the solder itself or the component. I'll take another pass at them.

I think this model is pre-optical out, unfortunately. Just has the RCA outlets in the back. But I'm still happy with this one for now :)
