Author Topic: CE LS-40 LED issue Tom Wienholt Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: Towson, MD, USA Registered: Dec 2002 posted 06-26-2015 05:50 PM                     I am having trouble achieving dolby tone. I have boosted the pre-amp gain controls of my CP65 and the gain control on the LS-40 power supply all the way up. Aside from replacing the LED itself, is there any other way of boosting the gain? Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

There may be a high gain jumper on the the preamp. This boosts the gain (and noise) by about 6dB and may get you by. There is the possibility the LED bracket has moved and the red LED may not be in the sweet spot. Most likely though the LED's are worn out. They are available from BACP, CE, or Kelmar. Prices do vary for the identical Dolby part.  |  IP: Logged
