Analog signal mutes when I switch digital switches to on

Analog signal mutes when I switch digital switches to on

Hi All. I've had my pair of 8340A speakers with the GLM module for a week now and I keep going from loving them to pulling my hair out.

This wasn't happening at first I'm sure but today, flicking any of the digital A B switches up on the back seems to mute the analog input. At the beggining of the week though I'm sure I had Analog and Digital connected and when there was no digital signal it would just play the Analog.

I've unplugged the GLM adaptor and reset both speakers to factory defaults so it's as if they are out of the box, never plugged into the GLM but still the switches mute the Analog signal, even when there is nothing plugged into the digital sockets.

Does this mean that once I've set the digital switches for my preferred stereo digital configuration, I need to flick them back off every time I want to plug in an analog signal?

'Would really appreciate some help on this.

I suggest you just keep the stored switch on the back panel enabled. You can then calibrate for AES (Digital A/B) and analog signals from the GLM software itself. You will then be able to play both analog and digital audio whenever you switch your groups, within the same file.

Hope this works!

Alan I was also wondering 2 years ago with my first 8260 . You are correct. You can not expect the Gens to automatically detect if analog or digital soundsource is feeding the monitors. BAsed on the prinicple the GENs needs GLM Monitor storrage of Digital or Analog group setting . Then you can switch digital and analog but only by making use of the GLM software .
