You must only ever connect your 272 and 555PS with an XPS or Prfereably an S-XPS Burndy. Nothing else.

Which one is xps brundy ? Which one is s-xps? 

I have tried green and red line one while 272 working no sound

i there a way to now which one is which? I did bot know that there is xps/s-xps brundy, i have one in order dont even know which one

If it's an XPS Burndy (not brundy) it will say XPS at the end that goes into the 272. An S-XPS Burndy is the current version and will say S-XPS.

Thank you very kind, Any idea about signs on the cable? 2 green vs paces red and green? I am trying to figure out with these nds cables that I barrowed

The NDS uses the 555A and 555D cables. The 272 needs an S-XPS cable.

Although I think I am right in saying the '555A' is the same as the S-XPS. (Apart from the plastic cover over the cable itself) I am sure I have used them interchangeably ... but can't check as I have now sold my 555PS and XPS2, but it sounds like your Dealer knows this anyway. Just ensure, like all Burndy cables you insert them into the sockets by holding the cable and not the plastic connector.. (it stops twist and strain internally and improves performance)  Takes a little getting used to, just give yourself plenty of space to work in...
