Author Topic: SDDS 3000 bypass mode John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 05-12-2002 12:19 AM                     What exactly happens when a DFP3000 is placed in bypass mode (by shutting the front panel power switch to off.) Does it act like most Dolby processors, ie: all channels are 'mono-ed' together and sent to all screen channels?  |  IP: Logged James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 05-12-2002 01:54 AM                     Yep. I had to do this once and the volume was very low and you could not adjust it.  |  IP: Logged Nic Margherio Film Handler Posts: 91 From: St. Louis MO, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-13-2002 06:59 PM                     There are two trim pots on the inside of the processor that allow you to set the bypass level, just like most Dolby processors. This should have been set during the installation and alignment of the machine.  |  IP: Logged
