Author Topic: Sound level of CP650 rises to 10. Paer Hoegberg Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Borlänge, Sweden Registered: Apr 2005 posted 06-05-2007 06:40 AM                     3 times last 2 weeks the level has gone upp to 10 without any obvious reason. And - the strange thing is the same trailer (Transformers) and the same place (the fireball hits the stadium). Anyone heard of this before?

I did read of a problem where the CP650 will increase volume setting, but only by .1 steps at a time (and I think that's only when you power off, then power back on). I know they fixed that with a software update, but I couldn't tell you if it's related to your problem or not.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Next, the shaft encoder (mechanical) if it gets a stuck switch can turn into an "only increase" or an "only decrease" knob! Alternately...if there is noise from the shaft encoder it could be causing the volume to move on its own.  |  IP: Logged Paer Hoegberg Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Borlänge, Sweden Registered: Apr 2005 posted 06-07-2007 09:16 AM                     Our version is 2.3.4.4 When thinking of it, the strange bahavior started efter a wisit of a technican (2007-mars) who upgraded the firmware. I dont know the previous version, but the CP650 was new in febr. 2004  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-07-2007 09:18 AM                        My experience with software upgrades (of all kinds, not just Dolby) is that if the one you have is reliable and does what you want....leave it alone. Even then, be prepared to go back. Louis  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I never go above that unless the stuff inside requires a later version. 2.3.4.4 corrects known fader issues with versions 2.1-2.2. Particularly on remotes. Steve  |  IP: Logged
