Author Topic: CP650 Strange behavior Paer Hoegberg Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Borlänge, Sweden Registered: Apr 2005 posted 06-06-2006 02:48 AM                     Twice last 2 weeks one of our CP650 fails. - The Display reads "Dolby Digital" and "F". - Pushing buttons "05", "10" or any other does not change display (the levels changes). - The sound is about 2 sec. out of sync. - The remote fader are black, no digits shown. (Turning remote fader changes the level). This happend in both cased in the first 2 minutes of the film (after 15 minutes of commercial+trailers). In both cases: Film was M:I:3 After reboot - the error-digit reads 3 or 4. The solution: Reboot the CP650 - with no sound during reboot. Any Idea [ 06-06-2006, 06:59 AM: Message edited by: Paer Hoegberg ]  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

If you have no bypass sound then that is an issue and is probably related. Have you tried calling Dolby's Technical support?  |  IP: Logged Paer Hoegberg Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Borlänge, Sweden Registered: Apr 2005 posted 06-06-2006 06:49 AM                     OK! No sound in the boot monitor (connected to the processor, not the amps). I have not checked the actual speakers. -------- No, no call (yet) - but some time ago there was a something strange with our CP500, rebooting helped. I called our chains technician, he told me - if rebooting helped and the problem only was rare - he could do nothing.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-06-2006 07:32 AM                        Steve; whenever I hear of some problem from my British friends regarding equipment, I blame it on "slow electricity."

Nasty power in some areas up north! I heard a couple of days ago that some brand new 650's in SLC were doing similar things.. also re-booting on their own.
