Author Topic: Mute/Switch sound for CP65 Paul Vollmers Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sister Lakes, MI, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 12-03-2015 12:35 PM                     Is there a way to add a mute remote or on off switch using the Dolby CP65 so at the end of a feature I can mute the end leader sound noise. This is for my home theater. The sound rack is not very near to simply push the mute button. If so, could i use a light switch and then where to connect to the CP65?  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

It's shown in the manual section. The switch needs to be momentary so light switch idea won't work.  |  IP: Logged Paul Vollmers Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sister Lakes, MI, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 12-04-2015 01:52 PM                     Thanks Sam, Now,I just have to find a momentarily switch some where.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

It could probably be had for $1-2 or so at your local hardware store.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

Single pole, single throw. Mailing or UPS would cost more than the switch so this is better done by Paul.  |  IP: Logged
