Author Topic: Dolby CP 500D Volume change problem Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 03-10-2007 12:22 AM                        Hi Everyone ! A friend called me yesterday to ask me advice about output level problem with a CP 500D: Sometimes during the show, the level will rise to "9" (verry loud)or go down to "zero". On this theater they don't have an analog auditorium fader, or remote control, SA-10 unit or automation. Did someone know this problem ? Any help is welcome. Best Regards, an appologize for my weak English ! ;-)  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-10-2007 02:08 AM                     ..bet the front door (where all of the controls are mounted on - the SKUS, volume knob, et.al. .. ) has to be replaced. Have you tried switching it with another CP-500 to see if the problem travels to the other processor? I had one do the same thing and the front door was faulty. Good luck -  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 03-11-2007 03:26 AM                        Hello and Thanks for Your answer. I din't tried to swap the fautly door with an another one. I don't have this spare part "on the hand" and the theater where is the problem is a 1-screen theater in a small town verry far away from where I live. But I will give your advice to the local tech (the guy is not a theater technician, but it knows a little about electronics) and try to ship him a remplacement Processor. Thanks for Your help Best regards Jean-Michel  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 03-11-2007 08:00 AM                        Remember the memory "lives" on the 684 board, so if that one board is OK, then it will allow the "new" processor not to have to be recalibrated.
