Advice needed...

Hi,Guys,bought a pair of 650's today,and also an amp,not the one I wanted,but it was in stock...complete newbie to headphone amps ,Anyway,Been trying all day to get the amp working..............

I have a Denon 3850 amp,The headphone amp is a PRO-JECT HEAD BOX 11,Followed the instuctions,connect to the denon's cd/tape inputs and back to the amp,This is where i am getting lost....I have tried to get sound,used the trigger out options on the amp....but ,no joy.....Guess i'm doing something a bit dumarse..............

Any help and advice would be great................

Re: Advice needed...

Connect the your cd player or other source to the project amps line in sockets, then use a second set or leads from the line out on the project back into your Denon. That should work but maybe not ideal. If your Denon is an AVR 3805 you may have to assign the inputs through the menu to get things working but I'm not sure.

Good Luck.
