how can I find the polarity out from my XLR

ths chichiuno,
i'll try both methods..
but maybe the 1st will be dificult because my Sony SCD-1 (my CDP) is FULL inside ; I'm not sure I could have a look inside ;-)

try this and be back soon

hi,
my only problem is that I have to give to my 'DIY cableman' the right polarity out of my CD player to match with the polarity 'In' in my preamp
I know the polarity In of my Preamp (1,2,3 pin are ok it's an US Cello Encore)
but I've a doubt about (+) pin out of my CDP ( I'm not sure (+) is out of pin 3 it's an european Sony player)

What I'm sure is that I don't know what is going out of my CDP ;-)

my user manual of my CDP says connectors are :
1=ground
2=(+)
3=(-)
and back of my CDP connectors are explained :
1=ground
2=(-)
3=(+)

so I need to check wher is my (HOT) pin

do u understand what I mean?

sorry for my english I'm a poor frenchie guy

yes I'd email my problem to Sony ... waiting for the reply

ths to everybody here for your help; it's realy great !
yesterday I'd try to check simply with a digital multimeter but it doesn't answered to MY question ..

Maybe I'll have to use a ocsillo ;-( ... but I've to find one first

I'll open my cdp and have a look inside

thanks again
