The max time we ran in bypass was like 2 days, we had to wait for a spare 650, the cross overs in the amps failed at the start of the weekend and we had none spare.By monday afternoon everything was back to normal.

Hi Folks:

Worked at the Belmont Theatre in Belmont, CA from 1989-1994. We ran our Christie console's automation unit manually for about 1.5 months because it was not working.

So we finally get a tech out and you won't beleive what the problem was. The unit was turned off! Someone must have bumped the on/off switch and with all the indicator bulbs burned out no one noticed that the unit was turned off. Boy did we feel foolish.

Okay here is a winner;

In Malaysia a cinema in Malaysia has ran CP65 Sound processor on bypass for about 22months yup almost 2 YEARS!!!!

why? because they did not contact any technician to solve the problem, it was just a burn fuse :-( such a waste of sound quality...
