Author Topic: Ouestion about CP500 Bypass mode Todd Shelskt Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Manchester, CT Registered: Feb 2008 posted 11-22-2008 09:34 AM                     Hi, I had to briefly go into the Bypass sound mode yesterday, but the volume was way too high! I saw that there was a level adjustment on the 682 card, but it didn't seem to work. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 11-22-2008 10:00 AM                     Check out page 5-16 of an actual CP-500 manual, or page 53 of the PDF copy that's on the Film-Tech website.  |  IP: Logged Todd Shelskt Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Manchester, CT Registered: Feb 2008 posted 11-28-2008 05:42 PM                     Thanks a lot, Jim.

Also keep in mind that to modify the bypass level via the CAT 682 card pot you need to spin it a good number of turns before you notice any difference. It doesn´t respond like the main knob, so don´t be afraid to turn and turn and turn!  |  IP: Logged Todd Shelskt Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Manchester, CT Registered: Feb 2008 posted 12-11-2008 01:27 AM                     Thanks, Andres and Marco! Yes, we have older CP500 units. I'm trying to think if I ever actually tried the main volume control when in bypass (it looks disengaged). The level hasn't been a problem until now. That helps with the adjustment on the 682 card. I turned it a couple of times and thought I might have overdone it. I guess not!  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 12-11-2008 04:40 PM                     Yes, you'll not see the numbers on the fader display but (with the latest software as Andres says - I didn't know) it works the same.
