Author Topic: 650 Processor loss of all channels apart from centre Oliver Harper Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Cambridge, United kingdom Registered: Mar 2007 posted 09-21-2009 05:01 AM                     We had a issue at our cinema the other day. All the channels were not working apart from the centre. All the connections were checked to amps and optical reader but everything was fine. Had to reboot the processor twice to restore the sound back to normal. Do you think it was a software glitch within the processor?  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 09-21-2009 06:15 AM                     Did bypass button did lit? Maybe was something wrong and processor switched to bypass, also it would be good to check log file.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-21-2009 06:56 AM                     What firmware do you have?  |  IP: Logged Oliver Harper Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Cambridge, United kingdom Registered: Mar 2007 posted 09-29-2009 05:12 AM                     yeah the bypass is working, i can't remember which firmware. i will find out today. We have been having other problems with this Processor. Audio is keeps going up and down, dialogue sounds muffled one customer commented and said it sound like someone talking through a radio. I did pink noise check, all channels are fine. The PSU is a new modified one and the current seems strong so we have no issues of reverting..Any ideas fellas?  |  IP: Logged Matt Skilton Film Handler Posts: 43 From: Bromley, Kent, UK Registered: May 2009 posted 09-29-2009 08:56 AM                        Can't say we've had any of these issues with our 650's. Muffled dialogue means blown HF for us but that's obviously not the case here. I'd call your engineer in or mention it to them at least, hopefully they can work some magic.  |  IP: Logged Oliver Harper Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Cambridge, United kingdom Registered: Mar 2007 posted 10-02-2009 08:51 AM                     i was playing back a CD on non-sync yesterday morning while changing the trailers and the volume kept going up and down. tried listening to the audio through the deaf loop on the bts monitor and it still continued to change volume. This is what the customers have been complaining about during 35mm performances.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-02-2009 11:57 AM                     knock knock try a firmware upload  |  IP: Logged
