Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

You don't need a special connector for AES Pro, XLR just happens to be the 
most common.  I believe the only difference is how the digital copy 
protection crap (forgot the acronym for it) is handled between the two 
standards.

Yes, I tried setting to AES/Pro and that didn't work either. Actually, 
I didn't expect AES/Pro to work since a different connector (XLR) 
is involved. The manual has instructions on how to re-wire the 
other end of the outgoing coax RCA -> XLR. The other receiving 
devices have S/PDIF connectors and don't take the XLR+AES/
Pro anyway.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has actually gotten the digital 
out to work. Maybe they could explain what format the receiving 
gear was set up for in a successful situation.

I'm disappointed that this basic information (sample rate, bit 
depth) is not mentioned in any Emu documentation. Every other 
piece of equipment I have with digital I/O capability clearly states 
this information.

Maybe the digital out is like the USB port: not actually functioning 
until a later OS. Or, maybe it's just broken in my machine.

Thanks for the help-
