Your right about using the tv as a monitor. Everything
is on and working fine. I have found as I work
on the computer that if you ask, you'll get answers.
I am quite proud that we have a great entertainment
center and IT IS WORKING! Not bad for a near
retired MOM! Thank you for your help! and no, I don't kareoke :(

I don't know about SCARTs but I would like to
see AES/EBU conectors on more equipment. Learn a new term, moron? Since you obviously don't know any better, S/PDIF is the consumer version of the EBU's digital audio interface.

I don't know about SCARTs but I would like to see Neutric two-way conectors being used for headphone jacks on more AV equipment. These jacks are interesting because the allow either the use of a 1/4 phone plug or a 3 pin XLR conection. Headroom uses this type of jack on some of their higher end amps.
There, is that better automan1?

" I would like to see Neutric two-way conectors being used for headphone jacks on more AV equipment"
Why, how many consumer oriented headsets have XLR connectors on them?
Why would a manufacturer use an XLR3 for a headphone connection, knowing that it is a standard microphone connector?
The neutrik connectors you're so impressed with are used, primarily, on mixing consoles for balanced mic/line inputs.....not headphone outputs.
"There, is that better automan1?"
Not really...all you've proved is that you've read a manufacturers catalogue....not really impressive at all.

Several of the higher end Grado and Sennheiser headphones do have the option of being cabled with three pin XLR type connections instead of 1/4" TRS plugs. The AKG K1000 is equipped with a 4 pin XLR type plug but this unit, although very impressive, is probably beyond the scope of this discusion. The three pin XLR type connection is used for alot more than microphones, FYI. It's used for the AES/EBU digital interconnection that you claim to know so much about, as well as for ballenced line level signals. The XLR type conection in general provides a more secure conection that either the phone plug or the phono plug.
Also a nice feature of the three pin variety is that the ground connection is made first when making a connection. This is not the case with phone plugs where the sleave is the ground and gets connected last due to its position on the connector. The RCA connection is similar in that when connecting RCA plugs to phono jacks, the hot connection is invariably made before the ground.
The Neutric jacks that I reffer to allow users to take advantage of the features of the three pin XLR type connection while still maintaining backwards compatability with the 1/4"TRS plug.

G, I can understand having to get headphones with XLR connectors to suit existing equipment, but it seems absurd to me to intentionally seek or request equipment with a less-popular connection, just to then require finding headphones with that connector. Maybe that's just me (but I doubt it). Larry www.fineelectricco.com
