You might need a new installer. There are many thousand, perhaps as many as 20,000 750's installed world wide.

The JSD 80 is a good choice too for analog film and digital cinema together. The price quoted seems high though. The JSD 100 and upcoming 60 are both excellent. As Carsten points out film will not be an issue in the future.

I don't care to offer an opinion on the rest of the issues so I'm out.

Mark, it sounds like your installer is only interested in selling you what is in his best interest, not yours. He probably makes more profit on the JSD80 than the CP750, and he probably wanted to unload that CP500.

His prices also seem high.

Thanks for the help!!

We dug in and insisted on the JSD-80...
with the 3 QSC's at a bit over 1,000 chf total...
We'll wait on speakers.....
and hang on to our fostex pair in case we ever go for 7,1...
------
Installation finishes Thursday and Friday...
Psyched to hear a SMPTE measured 5,1 in out theater!!!
-------
A few questions on installation -

Any recommendations on the sound tests?
The technician will do an SMPTE -
should we ask for that through each source?
(Bray, DCP, 35 mm, computer card?)

What about for the various treatments, and their 'effects'?
(DOLBY SR 35mm, Dolby surround, THX, DTS?
And untreated DCP 5,1, DCP and BRAY stereo, and Bray and 35mm mono ?

Given that the USL has readily-made presets, and that we could easily make and then load various files depending on the encodage and number of channels, it seems we could do this...
But is this necessary?
-------
--------------
If the building electricity is funky,
even if we have our own electrical panel for the cinema,
should we try to put something in to keep the current more stable?
(This is more for saving our Christie than the JSD-80)..

I thought that some projectionnists had recommended this,
but I can't find the link anymore...

Thanks again,

Mark
