Author Topic: Sub input for EXT on USL JS 105/195 David E. Nedrow Master Film Handler Posts: 368 From: Columbus, OH, USA Registered: Oct 2008 posted 11-20-2010 11:27 AM                        OK, I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but is there a way to route the sub output from a DTS XD-10 to a USL JS105/195? Doesn't look as though the JS series didn't add a sub input until the 200. There's no block diagram in the JS Series (1991) manual showing the use of the EXT/MAG inputs. The only odd thing I see is that the left surround (Sl) input has another printed tag right below it labeled (S). Also, the DTS manual says that on the JS 5/95, pins 19 & 20 to the left of the STANDBY POWER block need to have a jumper installed in order to "enable the right surround". Anyone know if this holds true for the 105/195? Figured I'd try here first. I'm guessing USL doesn't check support email during the weekend. -David -David  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 11-20-2010 01:38 PM                    You have to solder the sub wire to the b pin of the format card on the backplane. On the backplane on the right side of the externa/mag inputs you will see two long rows of pin points for the format card. it is the second row second pin down from the top that you will want to solder the wire for the sub. Make sure you have the newer format card with the digital input button on it. FMJ-20. quote: David E. Nedrow The only odd thing I see is that the left surround (Sl) input has another printed tag right below it labeled (S). That sl/s is used if you are only doing mono surrounds.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 11-20-2010 03:26 PM                    quote: David E.

Ah, in this case I have a JFMP-20C 6-channel format card, so no jumper. Good. I can do it, but I hate taking a soldering iron to critical equipment.

The JFM-20 was for the sub. I just typed the wrong one in my previous post.  |  IP: Logged
