Author Topic: Dolby Digital Signal Simulator (Cat. No. 706). Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 10-30-2013 06:32 AM                     Does anybody have a manual for this thing? If not, can you answer the following questions? 1. I assume that the 25 pin connector on the back goes to the soundhead inputs on the processor or DA, but what is the 9 pin connector for? 2. What is the small hole between the UP and Down buttons for? Looks like it's designed to take an engineer's universal reset tool (paperclip). 3. Does it take power from the processor or DA, like a soundhead would? I thought the plate on the rear might cover a battery compartment, but it's just an unused 25 pin connector position.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 10-30-2013 11:04 AM                     Yup, you need a 25 D pin to pin cable, connect to reader1/reader 2. WARNING:-power down the DA20/CP500/CP650 when plugging or un-plugging the reader cables or cable to the 706. It's been a very long time since I used mine, I think it does indeed power from the DA.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 10-30-2013 11:15 AM                     Thanks Pete. I just want to check that the DA-20 is working next week. I've got cables made up to connect it to the CP. Any idea what the 9-pin connection is for? Sorry, I posted this in the wrong forum; must have had digital on the brain.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 10-30-2013 12:47 PM                     I cannot for the life of me remember. I did Dolby training on SRD about two decades ago. A lot of grey cells have died since then!  |  IP: Logged
