martykl I would try it again, I had the same problem when hooking up Oppo player to my 5508. I do not use the unit any more since i dismantled my home theater. But i remember after selecting XLR you must scroll to the right or left of it (not up down) and select i think it was balance. Good luck Pete
XLR Question
You won't see this one every day....
I've recently converted a listening room to dual use - listening and recording. I'm trying to use the 2 channel system as a monitor for the recording studio.
The 2 channel pre-amp is an Onkyo 5508 pre-pro (stereo mode) which has a set of stereo xlr balanced inputs available. So, I want to take the output of my PC audio interface (Pre Sonus Audiobox) into the Onkyo.
The Audiobox allows the PC recording system to connect to a monitor via balanced 1/4 inch trs out (phone plug). I got a trs to xlr cable and it works perfectly into a pair of active m-audio studio monitors. However, no signal is evident when I connect the same trs-xlr cable into the Onkyo
Other than a faulty input on the Onkyo, any idea what might cause the monitors to work but not the pre-pro?
thanks in advance
