Author Topic: Connecting External 6 Channel on CP500 Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 04-28-2009 08:38 PM                     Hey guys, We're installing a digital projector and using our CP500 for audio. We have connected the sever into a USL DAX D/A Converter and then connected to the External 6 Channel Audio Input. Problem is the front panel screen indicates that external channel audio in not available. How do I make this available?  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 04-28-2009 09:01 PM                     You need an optional plug in card, a CAT685. It goes into J10.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

It was the way Dolby tried to kill DTS!!  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 04-29-2009 08:24 AM                     Sam, Just just you a PM.  |  IP: Logged Chase Taylor Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Troy, Alabama, USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 05-01-2009 11:31 AM                        How long will Dolby have the cat. 685 card to buy? I've got two more 500's to add one to for D-Cinema.

I think I'll go with the card. I better get on it. I wonder what a good price is? I have not purchased one in ten years.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-03-2009 11:48 PM                     Thanks Sam. You were a life saver. Card works great.  |  IP: Logged
