Author Topic: CP650 not switching formats Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-27-2010 06:38 PM                        I have a CP650 which is not letting the automation switch formats. It also will not activate Non Sync when I press the NS button on the front panel. Disconnecting the automation plug from the rear, the unit will still not let me activate NS. Not sure what the problem could be. Everything else seems to work. I'm sure the firmware is ancient. Any ideas?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 11-27-2010 09:54 PM                        Reboot after you remove the remote plug to see what happens.

Do you mean the automation inputs (not running serially here)? If so, I already tried that. Tomorrow I am going to check for any shorts internally. If that doesn't work out I'll head over to the local thrift store and pick up a used Panastereo, though don't those take up like 90RU of rack space and not decode Dolby Digital internally?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-27-2010 11:39 PM                     Isn't switching formats exactly one of the reasons you are there? I agree with Gord.
