Hello everyone.I was convinced that one of the difference between software version 1.52 and 1.61 was that with 1.61 you could exit from a Dolby Digital automatically pulsed without the "Disabling auto digital" window. Few weeks ago I tried to exit from auto digital, I had the "disabling auto digital" window, I pushed "cancel" and CP500 never asked me for that: at that time I can exit from Auto Digital without problem AND without disabling it! Now something has changed. I have again the "disabling auto digital" windows, but if I hit cancel the system don't change the format and stays in digital. Where is the problem: if my automatism is configured to call SK1 for trailers (with fader set at 4.0) and sk4 for feature (with fader set at 6.0) Dolby will deny the change if last trailer (where the cue is applied) has Dolby Digital. What is changed? Why few weeks ago I played with the auto digital with no problem and now I cannot select another analog format during auto digital selected format? Thanks for your help Bye Antonio

Rick,Yes, I know how Auto Digital works, no problem I have a chance to learn someting new! Yes, my setup can be seen as you told. Dolby Digital at 4.0 on SK1 and Dolby Digital at 6.5 on SK4. Follow the events. (A) - Trailer A (DD) Dolby stays on SK1 fader at 4.0 - Trailer B (SR) Dolby drop to SK3 fader at 4.0 - At the end of trailer CUE - Dolby CANNOT change to SK4 because the sistem is already in Dolby Digital. It will stays in SK3 at 4.0 (B) - Trailer A (DD) Dolby stays on SK1 fader at 4.0 - At the end of trailer CUE - Dolby switch to SK4 and fader switch to 6.5 So the problem is that I cannot switch to a Dolby Digital format if I'm already in a digital format. At this moment I have Format 5 SR (that is source for auto digital on SK7) on SK4 so that it can be called in every moment, from any format. Once that the system is in Auto digital, and the Auto digital called format 10 is running, I cannot "exit" from SK7 without having the "disabling auto digital" window. You'd say "this is normal". I say that two weeks ago I could exit from an auto digital called format without any window. Why? Bye Antonio

Rick,The problem is not switching from digital to digital while the film is running but digital to digital without digital running. Push a Dolby Digital format with idle projector. Then push another digital format. CP will say "not ready". This is why I set all automations calls on SR formats: who tell me that the automation call the digital SK while the digital is active?? I'm sure that auto digital was enabled when I had no "disabling auto digital" windows because after and SR was selected the CP switched immediately in a DD format. Bye A

Rick,I will make few tests. Are you sure that you are not referring to this situation: - Projectors idle, CP500 on SR format - Push an SR-D Format: the CP will switch immediately on a SR format. - When projetor starts and Dolby Digital is read CP switch to the SR-D pushed before. This is right. What I'm almost sure that will not happen is the following: - Projectors idle, CP500 on SR format - Push an SR-D Format: the CP will switch immediately on a SR format. - Then Push another SR-D format: CP will say "Not ready" - When projetor starts and Dolby Digital is read CP switch to the first SR-D pushed. The second one will be ignored. However, I'm sure that the fader setting will be ignored in that case so also if it is as you say, it is useless!! Bye Antonio
