Author Topic: Film sound in non-sync? Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: Boulder Creek, CA. Registered: Jan 2004 posted 04-08-2006 01:48 AM                     Okay fellas, I got a stumper for ya! I have an auditorium running a CP55 that's doing the weirdest thing. Upon starting a show if the processor isn't muted you'll hear the leader. Even though it's in Non-Sync. What's more fun is that the surrounds in A-type are so quiet they're almost inaudible. However in Non-Sync the surrounds are perfect. Meanwhile the screen channels continue to have the non-sync audio on them. I'm thinking format card maybe? I've got other CP55's I can swap cards on, but thought I'd run the issue by FT first. Any ideas?  |  IP: Logged Rick Long Jr Expert Film Handler Posts: 211 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-08-2006 09:21 AM                     Try disconnecting the non-sync source, and see if you still have film-sound in non-sync. I bet you don't. If you are daisy-chaining the non-sync inputs to other processors instead of using a proper distribution system, there's probably a ground issue somewhere. I have seen this before, as well as filmsound from one aud getting into the surrounds in another aud through the non-sync loop.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: Boulder Creek, CA.

There's one for each house. It's a weird setup from Unique Screen Media.  |  IP: Logged
