Getting The CD-R Hooked Up?

[musicman81567]

I'm having problems with the hook-up of the CD-R unit. When the unit is hooked up, the 788 board does recognize the CD-R. It will let you go to the cd player and play a cd, but it has a loud roar in the left speaker with no sound. It has sound from the right side but not the left. I'm using single RCA plugs for the speaker hook-ups. I'm using JBL powered studio monitors. These speakers also have an XLR plug in on both speakers. Should I be using those hook-up's instead of the RCA one's? What am I doing wrong? This should all work like a dream, but it's been a nightmare so far. Please help. Thanks, musicman81567

Not sure if I can help, if you haven't got it fixed yet you could try:

1. Switching the speaker cables to see if you have a bad cable.
2. If you are getting sound out of both speakers when playing tracks recorded on the 788 you may have a bad SCSI cable or connection. [ from the CDR to the 788 ]
3 Make sure the CDR has a terminator on the unused SCSI port.
4. FYI do not make any SCSI connections with the 788 or CDR power on.

If the 788 works fine with the speakers but the CDR does not
I think the problem has to be with the SCSI cable or connections
or The CDR itself. [ I'm assuming your CDR is a Tascam unit or one that they have approved.

Good Luck
