Reversed home channels? - 09/01/2001 00:36
This is going to sound very strange, but...
Can anyone with a Mark1 running version 1.01 or later tell me whether or not the in-home outputs on their unit are behaving as expected when you play with the balance? How about when you unplug the RCA cables one at a time?
I might be going insane, but I think my Mk1 and my Mk2 have different (opposite) behavior. Note that I am going on the color-coding of the jacks, not on their physical position on the back panel, because that's arbitrary. I am assuming that the red color-coded plug is supposed to be the right channel, and the black (or white) color coded plug is supposed to be the left channel.
Not only that, but I could swear that this wasn't the case when I first got the unit. I could swear I checked the L/R balance when I first got it over a year ago, but not very often since. I don't think I messed up any wires or connectors when I worked with the hard disks, so as strange as this sounds, I'm thinking this may have been due to one of the software upgrades.
Oh, and by the way, all of the in-car connections are fine in all cases, I'm only noticing this on the home outputs.
