Author Topic: SDDS DFP-D2000 Lip Sync Adjustment "NOT IN SERVICE" error Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 08-30-2005 09:09 PM                    I know I've set this before from the SDDS console itself. I'm getting to the adjustment by hitting the little buttons inside... "EDIT" "F1" "F1" ">" And when I try to change the adjustment, I get ">> NOT IN SERVICE! <<" Like I said, I remember doing this before. Does this mean that our tech has locked me out from making the change now? If so, I need to get him back in here to fix this stupid thing. Or I'll just keep running SR*D. It's just nice to have the SDDS available when something 8 channel comes through.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

The DFP-D2000 setup application and an old piece-o'-crap Windoze '98 PC took care of the issue but only when the computer was hooked up and the program running. I have yet to permanently unprotect the settings as Aaron suggested and as of now don't feel the need to do so. Of course, unless SDDS is part of your home screening room and you accept the consequences of poor setup, leave all adjustments to the experts to be safe.  |  IP: Logged Chris Trainor Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Greenville, RI, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-03-2005 12:15 AM                        They have a version of the SDDS setup software that runs on Win2k/XP as well. (just an fyi). On a side note, does anyone know how to actually get the time to set on a DFP-D2000?? Everytime i set it from the software it just reverts back... annoying. heh. Not that it really matters... just annoying. I can set anything else and have it stick. --Chris  |  IP: Logged
