Author Topic: Help with Mono/Mod 2C Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 11-25-2004 08:37 AM                     I've got a Smart Mod 2C that appears to have no mono output except in Emergency/Backup mode. The trim pots for mono level have no effect. SR and Digital work perfectly but when I switch to mono....nothing. Any ideas? Thanks...

You should drive over and have lunch with Oscar just to be sure though!!!
