Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-04-2019 05:05 PM                     The current unit is the AP25. I hear that the film pramp module remains available.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 02-05-2019 04:33 AM                     quote: Kannan Prabhu G DOLBY CP650 SOFTWARE CORRUPT HOW TO FKASH Have you tried updating it using a serial cable and the PC software? If that doesn't work, then it's nothing you can easily fix yourself. I'm not aware of the CP-650 having a JTAG port, so reprogramming the flash or replacing defective flash is something that's usually left to Dolby. Since the device is essentially end-of-life, in such case you're probably better off buying a refurbished unit.  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 02-05-2019 06:50 PM                       As mentioned before, I have some CP650 stock as I bought up the remaining finished 650 goods. I do have Cat. No. 797 flash memory. Not very expensive either but there is shipping. Some replace the entire 772 or 774 that holds the memory. That's substantially more of course. Brand new power supplies and most other cards as long as they last.  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 02-06-2019 05:57 PM                     When talking about CP650, a some month ago i had two on service.....as replacement was sent while this was on repair i did redraw schematic of optical input, thing which was interested me from time CP650 went on market.....and it is 99% as it is on sony DFP-D3000 as well sony DCP1000 which was way before CP650......only difference is some resistor values, which are not even critical..... I was asking myself, too strange to be coincidance, or some developing guys were same?  |  IP: Logged Kannan Prabhu G Film Handler Posts: 10 From: bangalore karanataka india Registered: Jun 2013 posted 02-06-2019 09:01 PM                        Thank sir it cat.797 problem it will repair  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

No. 797, then try to get a replacement. They're available on e.g. Ebay.  |  IP: Logged Kannan Prabhu G Film Handler Posts: 10 From: bangalore karanataka india Registered: Jun 2013 posted 02-08-2019 08:45 PM                        thank you sir I saw eBay it will not buy India  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 02-08-2019 09:09 PM                     Yeah, I guess buying India is a bit out of our league nowadays. I currently only see this item available. You can always try to contact the seller directly and ask them if he wants to ship it to India anyway. I've seen many eBay sellers making exceptions. Alternatively, you can use services like this one. I've used those in the past for a shipment to India from a U.S. supplier for some telecom and IT equipment. It's not cheap (but a whole lot cheaper than e.g. UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.), it took a while to get through customs, but eventually it worked.  |  IP: Logged Kannan Prabhu G Film Handler Posts: 10 From: bangalore karanataka india Registered: Jun 2013 posted 02-08-2019 09:14 PM                        Very much thank you sir try  |  IP: Logged Kornel Krawczyk Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland Registered: May 2017 posted 04-10-2019 05:18 AM                     Hello all, Looking for any alternate for CP650. Does any similar solution for Digital decoding from 35mm projector exist? Regards  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-10-2019 05:39 AM                     Datasat AP20/25. That does only analog/SR decoding internally, though. You can, however, add a DA20 to it for SRD. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 04-10-2019 06:28 AM                     The only alternatives, unfortunately, for 35mm SR-D are from Dolby and are older than the CP650. There are plenty of spare parts available though, for the CP650, so it's still a rather safe bet. If you need 35mm Dolby Digital, I'd rather use the CP650 than a DA20 hooked up to an audio processor.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-10-2019 07:13 AM                     Honestly, I'd take it either way (DA20/Analog CP like the CP65 or CSP1200) ro the CP650. The CP650 is in a single package so it takes up less space. But for long term...if something digital breaks in the CP650...you are sort of hosed unless you have a spare board of what has failed. With separates, keeping a CP65 or like processor going is going to be a lot easier. There are crap tons of DA20s out there too and there are very few boards in them (and are shared by CP500s). Note, BACP still has NEW CP650s, last I checked so if Sam is looking in here, perhaps he can advise on getting one to your country.  |  IP: Logged
