Allowable Source Formats

Any format can be designated as a source format. Non-film formats, however,

should not be chosen as source formats. If, for example, you choose non-sync as a

source format, film motion during projector cueing could result in accidental

selection of Dolby Digital during intermission.

Allowable Target Formats

Any format can be a target format. Of course, the target format should be the

format in which you play Dolby Digital. Format 10 (internal Dolby Digital system),

Format 11 (external DA20), or formats derived from them are the two most

appropriate target formats.

How It Works

When the auto-digital feature is enabled and valid source and target formats have

both been assigned, the system will automatically select the target format when:

• a source format is selected, and

• valid digital data is available.

So, if you select a source format when valid Dolby Digital data is available, the

CP500 will immediately change to the target format. It is important that all

operations personnel understand that this is normal operation and does not indicate

a malfunction.

Disabling the Auto-Digital Feature

Occasionally you may need to disable automatic selection of the Dolby Digital film

format. This should only be done if a print is faulty or damaged so that it frequently

reverts to analog. Three methods are provided.

Method 1

Auto-digital can be disabled by pressing

the MENU key, then

SK7

SK8

Press SK7 or SK8 (depending on which

projector you are using) . Pressing SK7
