SD302 to HD-P2 troubles

So I got my HD-P2 in today (yay) and it's cool and all. Bigger than I thought it would be! I definitely need to pony up for an Eargonizer.

Anyhow, I busted out my SD302 and plugged a countryman lav into it to test it out. I set my HD-P2 to line in...and nothing at all registered, not even a blip. In order to get it to work, I had to set it to mic, which blew it out, then engage the -20db pad on both channels, to bring it down. Even then, when generating the 1k tone on the SD302 and calibrating all the way up to -12db, the HD-P2 was only on a volume of 4!

Does this sound normal? Why was line in not registering anything? I thought my SD302 did line out. Oh, and I have never made any adjustments on my SD302, so it's factor config.
 
the very last page of the 302's owner manual explains calibration to general recorders. Why has you 302 factory settings never been changed?
 
the line ins are on rca only
so you dont get thing :-)
you can go with line out ( decriease the output for 10 db to xlrs directly
as the hdp-2 can handle everything till 18dbu on its input
better make mini xlr to rca inputs that would be aperfect match
 
Okay, thanks Oleg! I appreciate it man. I bought it on eBay for a sweet deal, just a bit over $600, so I worried that something was wrong. I already have the ta3 to mini adapter for my sd302. Now I'll just get a female mini to male rca pair and I should be good to go.
 
Wow! You'd make me one to go from the TA3 mix out of the SD302 split into two L-R rcas for $40 shipped? I'd do that! Tell me where to paypal the money.
