Thanks Brucek,

That's what i've done but it doesn't work...
James, any idea ?

Sounds like your doing it right - give Mike a call at Bryston.

Well, i'm gonna check first if there's really a 12DC going out of my MC12 trigger !
Need a tool to check this...

Because i really don't see where is the trouble...  :?

If both the 9B and 4B don't respond, then the fault lies with the MC-12 or the wire. Most processors have a setup where the trigger is source sensitive (on for CD and off for DVD for example) - check that. Check the 12 volts with a meter for sure.

Well, we didn't try the 4B 'cause we will be using a "special" wire with the Mark Levinson 308S and i don't have it yet.
-> ML 380S powers up the 4B for 2 ch (and when playing a movie/HT the ML must be on anyway, on its "surround sound processor" bypass mode)
-> MC12 powers up the 9B

I'll give it a try on the 4B tonight to see if the same happens...

My point was that you should use the process of elimination to determine the fault. If the MC-12 will not power up either the 4B or 9B, then the fault certainly isn't the 4B or 9B. Alternatively, if you find a processor that powers up the 4B and not the 9B, then the 9B is at fault. etc, etc............ :)

Yep,

Got your point, we should have tried it at the first time...  :oops:
I've just tried, not working either with the 4B, so, this is a problem with my MC12.
I'll try to sort this out !
