Author Topic: Looking for Ultra Stereo CS-200 manual Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 08-22-2009 02:50 PM                     Hey everyone, I'm popping back up to see if anyone has a PDF of the manual for the USL CS-200. I recently bought one for my basement screening room. The front cover is labelled "Models CS 135-200", my unit has all the available slots ocuppied, so I assume it's the CS-200 model.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 08-22-2009 03:21 PM                    Do yo mean the JS-200. There is a manual in the manual section for it.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 08-22-2009 03:45 PM                     Nope, definately a CS model. It wears their "35/70 mm processors" label. The format card has Mono, SVA, Surround, Mag & Mag-NR hard push buttons, like a CP-50.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 08-23-2009 10:00 PM                     The CS series is slightly older, but there are still a lot of them out there. I installed one for a friend a couple of years ago and couldn't find a manual either. But the CS and JS are close enough that you can use the JS-200 manual for reference. The ins/outs & setup are pretty much the same. The major difference is that on the CS unit, the push buttons on the "Format Module" are 'hard switches' while the newer JS has "soft (eletronic) switches. If I recall, one thing this meant is that I had to provide constant contact closurefrom the automation or remote switches to the "automation"terminals in the back to remotely switch formats, whereas the JS 200 will take a momentary pulse to switch formats.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-23-2009 11:16 PM                     When (and if) I can find it, I have a copy of the CS-Series manual somewhere, I'll send it to Brad to add to our "Manuals" forum...  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-24-2009 08:10 AM                     There is but one CS 10-100 left amongst my customers. No plug in pink noise card was made for these units so set up requires an external calibrated PN source. You will also find a somewhat uneven response fomr the A-Chain if you use a red reverse scan reader. The slit loss hinge point is designed for older 1.5 mil slit lenses.

I am not in the office today yet tomorrow I will scan the manual and get you a copy. Clint  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
