Author Topic: Dolby Digital Reader 701 Rollers Paul Salley Expert Film Handler Posts: 105 From: Liberal, Kansas Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-10-2004 08:57 PM                  Can someone tell me if it is normal for the top and bottom guide rollers to wear on the outer edges of these rollers? These are the aluminum rollers that are attached to the tension arms. We are using the correct tension lining up with the white dots.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-10-2004 09:12 PM                     I've seen this on both Cat 700 and 701 Dolby penthouses now and then but I wouldn't say it is exactly normal and I've always felt that there was something not set quite right when they left the factory. I had two 701's that wore so badly that I had to reset the lateral position of the camera. You mihgt want to take a look at the video on yours to be sure that the lateral adjustment is in spec. Have not seen even a hint if this problem with any of the BACP Digital Penthouses we have installed.

Has anyone ever spoke with Dolby about this? Thanks!  |  IP: Logged
