Author Topic: Panastereo CSP1200 loosing defaults Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 04-06-2007 08:50 AM                        Greetings all, when turning on the Panastereo processor and automation al sound defaults are coming on at Max levels. This unit is integrated with Panalogic CA2000 automation. When resetting the defaults to correct levels on the automation all levels are ok for the day but again on booting up next day they are all again at Max. I am unable to determine if the defaults are being lost in the automation memory or the processor memory ?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-06-2007 11:53 AM                     Assuming the sutomation is programmed correctly I would first isolate the interconnection between automation and processor and see in which unit the problem lies. This will give you a direction to follow. If you have other Panastereo's or Panalogics in your complex swapping out modules or boards should then isolate it to an individual board/module.

You need to use a soldering iron. Ive been meaning to change mine sometime soon.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 04-08-2007 06:16 AM                     sorry  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

I am curious as to if all the panalogic settings for that cinema will be lost during the battery change ?  |  IP: Logged
