Author Topic: Dolby SA-10 problem Jim Ziegler Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 753 From: West Hollywood, CA Registered: Jul 99 posted 06-26-2006 06:59 PM                     Two days ago our Dolby SA-10 surround adaptor started broadcasting a high pitched tone through the right surrounds. The unit had been working fine before this occured - it just started having the issue the first show of the day. We tried using the disable switch on the front of the unit, but that did not stop the tone. We were able to stop it by disconnecting the power to the SA-10. Any idea what happened here? Has anyone had this happen before?  |  IP: Logged Ken Jacquart Film Handler Posts: 82 From: San Francisco, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-28-2006 10:47 PM                        Jim, could you be more specific about where the problem was coming from? Was it from the Rs and Bsr channels both? Or just one or the other? Does it happen in EX mode as well as 5.1 mode?  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I'll play with it some tomorrow to see if it is coming out of both of the channels.  |  IP: Logged
