When I powered on I could not see any voltage swing on both BAL and SE outputs while adjusting the VRs. I am not using the buffer and J5/J6 has been populated. When I connected the source, there was no output on the SE outputs. What could be the problem and where to start the debugging? Thanks, Subbu

I set my multimeter to 200mV range and was able to see some voltage swing on the differential outputs. Set it to 0 volt. But the SE outputs did not respond to the VR changes and no output when I connect the source. Please help!

The resistors are warm after few mins of running. Thanks, Subbu Edited by user Wednesday, January 4, 2012 11:58:42 AM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

It's 2 layers. A quick look at the schematic will highlight the poster's issue.
