2.2.5 Automatic Selection of the Dolby Digital Format

CP650 units equipped to play Dolby Digital films can be set up to sense the presence

of Dolby Digital data on the film and automatically switch the CP650 to the Dolby

Digital format from any other film format. In other words, if the CP650 is operating

in format 01, 04, 05, or 11, it will automatically switch to format 10 when a Dolby

Digital film is detected. CP650s are shipped from the factory with this feature

enabled.

Auto Dolby Digital can only be sensed from an analog film source format. The

format 10 button location can be thought of as the target for Auto Dolby Digital.

Note: There may be more than one format 10 button location. In addition to button

10, format 10 may also be assigned to any of the six user-assignable buttons—01, 04,

11, U1, U2, NS

. Buttons 05 (Dolby SR) and 10 (Dolby Digital) are not user assignable.

More than one button can be assigned as format 10 in order to use the fader preset

feature available for each button. Some users assign one button as format 10 for

trailers and another format 10 button for the feature film, with each button preset to

the desired fader level.

If an analog soundtrack film is playing on a button that is assigned to either format 01

(Mono), format 04 (Dolby A-type), or format 05 (Dolby SR) and a Dolby Digital

soundtrack is sensed, the CP650 will switch to the format 10 (Dolby Digital) target

button. The format 10 target button is assigned in one of the menus.

The Auto Dolby Digital feature is disabled whenever a front-panel button is pressed

or an automation cue is received after Auto Dolby Digital has operated. This action is

useful, for example, if you wish to quickly select an analog film format during the

show.

The NS button reenables the Auto Dolby Digital feature. We recommend that the NS

button be assigned to your intermission format (typically format 60, 75, or 80),

because at the end of the film, when the NS format button is typically used, the Auto

Dolby Digital feature is then reenabled.

To disable (or reenable) the Auto Dolby Digital feature, follow these steps:

1. Press multiple times, or press and hold the button while

rotating the front-panel knob to move to the Auto Dolby

Digital screen.

2. Rotate the fader knob to select Disabled.

3. Press

OK to save the change.

4. Press the illuminated format button to return to normal operation.
