Author Topic: Non-Sync Volume Paul Rich Film Handler Posts: 56 From: Murfreesboro, TN, 37128 Registered: Nov 1999 posted 04-23-2003 08:04 PM                     On some of our CP-500's the volume on the non-sync doesn't change no matter what I do to the trimpots on the non-sync board. Any suggestions?  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

It's in the manual. I only have one of these machines and I rarely have to fiddle about with it so I'm sorry I can't be more detailed than that. Use the trimpots as a means of getting a good preamp level and also to balance left/right signals.  |  IP: Logged Peter Hall Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-24-2003 02:43 PM                        Forget about soft controls - if the level doesnt change with the pots you've either got a faulty CP500 (unlikely) or an alternative signal path (most likely an earth loop) somewhere. Try using NS2 - same problem ? How are the RCA's wired ? Are you linking the CP500 signal ground to real earth ? What happens if you connect to an acc rack input ? We've found isolation transformers vital when we start to get too clever and link too many things to the CP500 (cpxx) Good luck - let me know what happens  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

I have never seen a faulty CP500. These units just don't have technical problems. quote: It was rather naive and silly of me to even suggest it. Manny, it is your refreshingly naive character and entertaining silliness which makes you so endearing to the members of this forum. BTW, how come you look completely different in each of your pictures?  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

Ummm...I've wondered about this myself. I don't know who those people are. I don't ever remember sending in a member photo.  |  IP: Logged
