(Blinking/dimming lights, etc.?) A bad enough power glitch can cause the processor to shut down or reboot. You should get a UPS for your processors, an inexpensive one like APC'S Back-UPS ES350 will work fine. You will have to leave it and the processor on all the time (which is not a bad thing really.) Make sure your wake-up settings are for local fader and whatever format you prefer (05 is my suggestion.) It is also possible that the power supply in the CP-650 is going bad, power supplies were never Dolby's strong point.  |  IP: Logged Fred Tucker Film Handler Posts: 90 From: Sugar Land, TX Registered: Sep 2007 posted 06-27-2009 05:31 PM                     I'm glad somebody else has had the fader mysteriously change to the remote setting on them! Only happened once & until now I thought somebody was just trying to mess with me.... ofcourse they might be messing with both of us.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

If you hit the grey buttons on the front of the CP650 in sequence...whola, you are in auditorium fader mode. Hit them again in sequence, and you are back in local fader...but....the volume will be at zero until you raise it.
