remote turn-on for Bryston 4BST and Proceed PreAmp


Hi,
I am trying to use remote turn-on feature of the Bryston 4BST and the Proceed Pre amp, but I have trouble of getting them to work together. I plug a minijack (stereo) to the Proceed and the 2 wire ends to te Bryston. Set the Bryston to 0-4 sconds delay. Put the Bryston to the ON mode. Then power on/off the Proceed but the Bryston did not turn on. Try different polarity on the wire ends, same thing. I did notice that when I power the Proceed OFF, the Bryston did power on for less than a second, then OFF it goes. I will not STAY ON

I looked at the Proceed manual and it says that the remote turn on signal is only putting out 8 volts PULSE for only 800 milisecond. Is this the problem? Is the Bryston expecting the signal to stay HIGH (4-12 volts)for ON and LOW (0 volt) for OFF. NO Pulse????? Does this mean that the remote Turn ON and will not work for the Proceed and the Bryston? I thought it suppose to be easy. Please help!!!!!

Just talked to Proceed Tech support and found out that the Proceed Pre will put out 8 V pulse only. The Bryston needs constant 4-12 volts. Proceed will send me a new EEPROM for the Proceed to change it to constant 8 V line (all for 9 dollars). Yippee!!!

Thanks for all your help!
