Author Topic: Need help with my nonsync music. Playing during presentation Michael Dolan Film Handler Posts: 77 From: Deerfield Beach, fl. Registered: May 2008 posted 11-23-2008 02:27 PM                        I have 5 screens and 3 of them are hooked into a nonsynce intermission music system. I have to manually change them from nonsync to film but otherwise the all normally work fine. I have noticed recently that in screen 3 the music is playing from the speaker behind the screen while the movie is playing. No changes have been made to cause it to do this that i am aware of. Has anybody had this happen before or know how it can be fixed. Equipment: JWin DVD player plays the music cds Smart music distribution da226 relays the music to the screens Screen 3 has a Kintek KT-1044 monitor Digimate 1110 dual amplifier Kintek KT 1002 processor Thank you for your answers  |  IP: Logged Fred Tucker Film Handler Posts: 90 From: Sugar Land, TX Registered: Sep 2007 posted 11-23-2008 06:05 PM                     Normally the sound format is changed by the projector's automation, which type do you have?  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-23-2008 09:54 PM                     Michael, Does the non-sync sound continue to play INSTEAD OF the film sound or does the non-sync BLEED THROUGH during the film? These are two very different problems. Thanks KEN  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-23-2008 10:41 PM                     Unless there was a change in grounding (even due to a loose or corroded conection) I would suspect that there is an issue with either the VCA or solid state switch on the NS input of the processors  |  IP: Logged Fred Tucker Film Handler Posts: 90 From: Sugar Land, TX Registered: Sep 2007 posted 11-24-2008 12:35 AM                     He said he has to manually change from nonsync to film, that screams automation to me or a bad connection between the two.  |  IP: Logged Donna Sylvester Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Burney, CA, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 11-24-2008 12:43 AM                        I had that happen last week as well, during Pride & Glory. No problems this week (Madagascar 2) or at any other time in the past. At my place, the sound just switched over to non-sync and Movie Tunes started playing during the movie.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-24-2008 02:03 AM                     It's a Kintek processor.. may just be failing components and a warning that a total breakdown is imminent.. that processor is what, about 20+ years old now? Does anyone still service those? I would imagine that if parts and a schematic were available it could probably be repaired.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-24-2008 02:44 AM                     As far as I know, Kinteks are a long ago dinosaurs that have no parts available and no support for these units. Yet, what's more intresting that some cinemas who've converted to more updated sound processing, have managed to shove their obsolete Kinteks in their storage rooms for whatever reason or another.  |  IP: Logged
