Hi,Few weeks ago I posted aabout my Cp500 that is not working properly. In a changeover installation, it stays in "P1" "V2" when projector 1 is running. Many of you gave me few suggestions to resolve the problems but I didnt' found anything. I just discovered two very strange thing: When projector 1 starts, to "force" Dolby Digital I can: 1. Frame the picture... (I'm not kidding) 2. Insit on the "SKx" from the remote controller I've build. Ok, my "motor start" plug is cabled in a strange way, but I saw that I'm not the only one in my town... Motor Start 1 and 2 are directly connected so that anlog and digital signal is coming from the changeover pulse (open=proj1). I build another plug with a long cable to make the tests from the control panel of cp500. When CP500 starts, it is in "P1 - V1" condition. If i connect the changeover wires I have the CP500 change to "P2-V2". Ok. But if I disconnect the two wires I have... "P1 - V2". Then, I found the ghosts... If I disconnect the Audio Phoenix connector... The chageover become normal! Surely is some ground problem (we have a big radio transmittent near the theater and perhaps something is acting alike an antenna) or similar... Do you have suggestions? Thanks for your help!!! Bye Antonio

At ShoWest, I visited the Sylvania booth. Here's a link to their website for Osram xenon lamps: Sylvania/Osram Website Go to "PhotoOptic Specialty Lamps", then "PhotoOptic Discharge Lamps", then "XBOŽ >450W Xenon Short Arc-Film Proj" Most of the lamp listings will take you to a frame that has a link to "Product Documents, Graphs, and Images" that contains a wealth of information on the handling, operation and disposal of xenon lamps. ------------------ John P.
