Author Topic: CP-50 Built-in tone Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 05-04-2002 04:51 PM                     The CP-50 had a built-in 1KHZ tone that could be energized by jumpering the two test points on the meter/filter card. Does the CP-55 have this provision? I don't have a manual, and this boat anchor of a computer takes too long to download the manual, plus it is on the credit card machine. Can anyone answer this question quickly?  |  IP: Logged Rick Long Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 759 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Nov 1999 posted 05-04-2002 07:27 PM                     As I recall Paul, the tone in the CP-50 was provided in the C.N. 22 NRM card (turned on as you say, by jumping the white and black points on the 109 meter card). I don't think the 222 card has such an oscillator. Course, I could be wrong.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-04-2002 08:18 PM                     It should be Dolby tone that is a warble tone around 800hz  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

In fact, it has Dolby-Tone inputs for an external generator. Steve ------------------ "Old projectionists never die, they just changeover!"  |  IP: Logged Paul G.
