[Tig] Grouping XLR outputs to a stereo signal

[Andreas Wideroe Andersen]

In regards to Rob recent posting about no 
question being too simple for the TIG I'll throw 
in a question that might have an obvious answer to many of you.

On the back of the FDL telecines there are 4 XLR 
audio outputs these I have connected to a mixing 
table which outputs a L and R stereo signal.

My question is: Which of the 4 XLR outputs of the 
telecine should I group together to get the most 
correct stereo signal? Should XLR output 1 and 2 
go together on L and 3 and 4 on R or perhaps 1+3 and 2+4?

And are these XLR outputs balanced or non balanced signals?

I don't have the background in video/audio 
engineering so I don't know what's correct here. 
I guess this grouping could also apply to other 
machines such as a BetaCam SP VTR - or ?

Thanks!
Andreas
