I screened a film whose track was Left - Right, non-Dolby, non-matrix and I set up a user format on my CP500 to handle this. I tried Lt-Rt direct but eventually settled on Non Sync decoding to put a bit of ambience in the surrounds. I'd like to give the local venue opening this film step by step directions on how to set this up but I believe they have 650's. Anyone care to give a list of steps applicable to this CP? It would need to be precise down to every key press and knob twirl. Thanks.

Here are the steps for the 500:

MENU
Format Configuration
Build Custom Format
(wheel) choose a user format number
OK
Copy From Existing Format
(wheel) 05 Dolby Stereo SR
OK
NR type-->
NR channels L&R
(wheel) NO NR
OK

---------
the following is unnecessary but
good for peace of mind

NR Channels Ls & Rs
(wheel) NO NR
OK

NR Channels C & Sw
(wheel) NO NR
OK

end of unnecessary steps
-----------

BACK
More-->
Opt Decode Config
Decode Mode
(wheel) Lt Rt Direct OR non sync
OK
EXIT
(Save?) OK

Build Format Selector
Assign Formats
(push the button where you want this format
located on the main screen. choose an otherwise
unneeded button)

(wheel) Select the user format # you chose at the start

OK

FORMATS

(save?) OK

Far as I know the 650 can't accept anything Dolby doesn't tell it too do. No custom formats are available on that POC!

No user formats but lots of predefined assignable formats and i am sure that one is there
