Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 06-27-2002 07:35 PM                        Hello, 2 little tips: when you are using a dts-6d toghether with a Dolby CP500, the automation output of the dts is usually connected to the automation input of the CP500 via a logic-break-out board. On this board, there are a few jumpers to configure the dts`s fallback structure. The factory settings will have the dts pulse on SK 3 to switch on Dolby SR on the CP. Change this jumper setting to SK2 and, using the CP500`s menue options to design a custom format screen, duplicate format 10 (Dolby Digital) on SK2. In this way, you will have the dts pulse on SK2 when it is falling out of digital, and you will have a complete fallback structure dts-Dolby Digital-SR. Also, at the end of the show, there is a cue in the dts timecode to switch back to Non-Sync. The factory setting on the board makes the unit pulse on SK8, while most CP500s and automation systems are configured to have the music on SK7. Either change the jumper to SK7 or simply pull it off and let your automation do the switching on its own. Otherwise, you often have the sound system switching back and forth between soundtrack, music and silence at the end of the show. Michael  |  IP: Logged
