Introduction
1.1
About the Dolby CP650 Digital Cinema
Processor
The Dolby CP650 Digital Cinema Processor is a self-contained, all-digital cinema
processor capable of supporting Dolby® Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EXTM, Dolby
SR, Dolby A-type, and Academy mono film sound playback.
The CP650 provides inputs for two projector soundheads (both analog and digital), an
external six-channel processor, two nonsync sources, and a PA microphone. Its audio
outputs are balanced, with a multipin connector configured to the THX standard. The
CP650 is the first cinema processor to incorporate an Ethernet connection, enabling
theatre personnel to monitor the unit’s functions remotely from a PC.
For decoding analog soundtracks, the CP650’s state-of-the art design incorporates the
only digital implementations of Dolby A-type and Dolby SR decoding that meet
Dolby Laboratories’ own rigorous standards. Reductions in the cost of powerful
digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry have made it possible for the first time to
replace the analog circuitry previously necessary for the accurate reproduction of
A-type and SR soundtracks.
An easy-to-read LCD screen, plus simple front-panel format selection and control
buttons, makes it easy to install, operate, and maintain the CP650. Installation is
further simplified by built-in test instrumentation that includes a real-time analyzer.
Third-octave equalization, plus bass and treble trim controls, are provided for up to
seven channels (Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround, Back Surround
Left, and Back Surround Right). A digital parametric equalizer is provided for
subwoofer equalization.
Easily programmed internal software manages most existing or likely future formats.
While an external PC is not required for setup, a full-featured software package is
available in several languages to facilitate the setup process. A serial connector for a
PC, an input for a calibration microphone multiplexer, and a variety of test points are
all accessible behind an access door on the front-panel. Built-in diagnostic software
runs automatically whenever the CP650 is turned on.
Calibration settings for a given theatre can be stored on a PC, and, if necessary,
transferred directly to another CP650, or other modules, minimizing the need for
additional calibration after repairs. As improvements to the CP650 digital control and
processing software are developed, the latest revisions will be downloadable from a
PC to the CP650. Updates to the digital processing used for Dolby Digital
soundtracks are included from time to time on Dolby Digital release prints, and

Introduction
download automatically into the CP650 the first time such a print is played in the
cinema.
The standard Model CP650 includes a Cat. No. 790 (Cat. No. 794 in earlier units)
plug-in module featuring Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding, plus four-input
AES/EBU digital inputs accommodating PCM audio and Dolby Digital (consumer)
bitstreams.
Options available for the CP650 include a remote fader (Cat. No. 771), a remote unit
(Cat. No. 779) that duplicates many of the CP650’s front-panel controls, and an eightchannel digital I/O card for use in mixing studios (Cat. No. 778).

Dolby Digital Surround EX adds a third surround channel to digital film sound, a
concept first envisioned by sound designers at Lucasfilm’s Skywalker Sound
postproduction facility. It gives sound mixers a new level of creative freedom.
Dolby Digital Surround EX is fully compatible with all current 5.1 digital sound
formats and theatre systems. Prints that use it play normally with current systems, and
provide the extra surround channel when played using a CP650 cinema processor
equipped with a Cat. No. 790 or 794 board.
A center screen channel is necessary to ensure the precise localization of front sounds
for all viewers, including those seated off to the sides. Dolby Digital Surround EX
brings similar benefits to the surround sound field. With Surround EX, a back
surround channel is reproduced by the speaker array at the back of the theatre, while
left and right surround is reproduced by the side arrays. This means that sounds can
now be positioned behind the audience, opening the door to exciting new effects,
such as true 360-degree pans.
The back surround channel also makes front-to-back and back-to-front transitions
more realistic. Flyovers really seem to pass overhead, rather than down the sides of
the theatre. Even ambient sound reproduction is improved, being less affected by the
width of the theatre. Equally important, the new back surround channel ensures that
even viewers seated close to the left or right of the theatre experience the total
surround ambience intended by the filmmaker.
The UEX650 kit upgrades the CP650D 5.1-channel digital cinema sound processor to
three surround channels that can play digital prints prepared with the Dolby Digital
Surround EX process. The installation requires wiring the surround speakers into left,
back (split into two groups), and right. Two power amplifier channels are required
for powering the two groups of back surround channel speakers. The figures below
show the surround signal distribution for conventional the 5.1-channel surround
format and for the Dolby Digital Surround EX format.
Auto Surround EX
On Dolby Digital soundtracks that contain a data bit signifying Surround EX
encoding, the CP650 will automatically switch to Dolby Digital Surround EX
decoding (operating software version 1.2 and above).

Chapter 2
Installation
Do not connect the CP650 to mains power until all other connections have been
made.
If air-conditioning noise is audible in the theatre, arrange for lubrication of the motor
and fan bearings, adjustment of belts and drives, and cleaning of filters to reduce the
ambient noise to a minimum. If the air-conditioning cannot be repaired, switch it off
while the CP650 is being aligned.
2.1
Replacing an Existing Sound System
If the CP650 replaces an existing cinema sound system, play a typical film before you
remove the old system so you will have a benchmark for comparison to the new
system.
2.1.1
Before Playing the Film:
• Verify that the existing power amplifiers are in good working order.
• Verify that the existing speakers are in good working order, and that there are no
loose or missing pieces, structural parts, or damaged drivers in the enclosures.
• Verify that all wiring is present and properly connected, and that crossovers are
operating and are correctly adjusted.
• Check the polarity of the speaker connections.
• Verify that there are adequate ground (earth) connections.
• Verify that radio interference problems are adequately resolved.
2.1.2
While Playing the Film:
While running the film, listen carefully in various parts of the theatre for audio
system problems, including:
•
•
•
•
Hum
Noise, clicks, or pops
Distorted sound
Poor tonal balance (lack of high-frequency or bass content)
These problems must be resolved before the installation process can proceed.
2-1
®
Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
2.1.3
Installation
Disconnect the Old System
• Disconnect power from the existing cinema sound equipment.
• Disconnect all cabling from the existing sound processor. Leave the cables
connected to the power amplifiers, booth monitor, etc.
2.2
Check Fuse and Bypass Mains Voltage Selector
WARNING: Check that the correct main fuse has been installed. To reduce
the risk of fire, replace only with fuses of the same type and rating.
The CP650 uses a universal switching power supply that can accommodate nominal
mains voltages from 100 to 120, and 200 to 240 VAC, at frequencies from 50 to
60 Hz.
Check Main Fuse
The main power supply fuse is a 6.3 A, 250V, 20 mm, time-lag, low breaking
capacity fuse (T 6.3 L). With a small flat-blade screwdriver, open the fuse
compartment door on the AC power input housing (See Figure 2–1.)
Figure 2–1 Main Fuse Assembly
Remove the fuse carrier and check that the fuse in the active (left position) is of the
correct rating. The fuse carrier must be inserted into the compartment with the fuse
oriented to the left. Do not force the carrier into the compartment. Damage will
result. The polarizing clip must be attached on the right side of the carrier at the rear.
Snap the fuse compartment door closed.
Check Bypass Supply Mains Voltage Setting
The bypass power supply mains voltage selector switch is accessible through a hole
in the top cover of the CP650. Use a screwdriver to set the switch to either 120 or
220 VAC Figure2_8 shows the switch location.
Caution: Be sure to check this setting. If the bypass voltage selector is set to 120 V but the
unit is connected to 220 V mains voltage, the bypass power supply fuse will blow.
2-2
®
Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
Installation
Bypass Power Supply Fuse
The bypass power supply fuse is accessible by removing the plastic front-panel and
the front subpanel. It is located above the power/bypass switch. The fuse values are:
For 110 VAC Mains
T 200 mA L (time-lag, 200 mA, 20 mm, low breaking capacity, 250 V)
For 220 VAC Mains
T 100 mA L (time-lag, 100 mA, 20 mm, low breaking capacity, 250 V)
Caution: Early CP650s used a 315 mA fuse for all mains voltages. The fuse ratings
above should be used for more reliable overcurrent protection.
Internal Fuse
The switching DC power supply contains a separate internal fuse, not accessible to
the installation engineer or user. Do not remove the power supply cover. The CP650
main fuse will protect most fault conditions. If this fuse blows, the power supply has
certainly failed.
2.3
Mount the CP650
To avoid heat or hum pickup problems, do not mount the Dolby CP650® immediately
above or below the power amplifiers. Locate the power amplifiers away from the
CP650 to avoid hum pickup problems. Always leave a 1U space (43 mm, or 1.75
inches) above and below the CP650 to provide adequate ventilation. Install an air
guide or baffle to deflect hot air from equipment below the CP650.
To ensure good ground contact, install a star washer on at least one (and preferably
all) rack-mounting screw(s) per piece of equipment (Figure 2–2). This will also aid in
the prevention of electrical noise problems.
Figure 2–2 Star Washers and Rack-Mounting Screws
Proper shielding and termination of cables and cable assemblies are also very
important. Follow the methods shown in the wiring diagrams.
If you are installing a Dolby Cat. No. 701 Digital Soundtrack Reader, refer to its
installation manual for mounting and alignment.
2-3
®
Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
2.4
Installation
Mount the Auditorium Assist Microphone
Auditorium AssistTM operation requires the use of the
Cat. No. 735 microphone. Mount the microphone permanently in
the auditorium, at a convenient location away from sound sources.
If the rear wall is used, the microphone should be centered between
surround speakers. Wall plates with an integrated XLR connector
are available. Examples include:
Switchcraft J3FS—Stainless Steel
Whirlwind WP1B/1FND—Black
Connect the microphone to the mic input located on the rear panel of the CP650
cinema processor. If the microphone input in your installation is currently dedicated
to other uses, such as an emergency public address, install the necessary hardware to
switch between microphones.
2.5
Connect the CP650
Refer to the appropriate foldout pages, located at the end of this chapter, showing
connections to the CP650.
Shields must be connected as shown in the foldout pages to avoid radio frequency
interference.
Note: Follow all local codes and regulations covering electrical wiring. It is
recommended that conduit be used for wiring runs.
Connector shells have been included in your installation kit for use in countries that
are governed by the EMC directives. The shells must be used as noted on the foldout
pages.
2.5.1
Motor-Start Relays (Models CP650 and CP650D)
For two-projector installations, motor-start relays are required for projector
changeover. Digital data on the soundtrack is read in advance of the picture; therefore
an advanced changeover signal is required. Projector motor-start contact closures
provide this signal to the CP650. Isolated contact closures from mechanical or optoisolated relays wired across projector motors must be used. Refer to the Installation
Wiring Inputs and Control diagram at the end of this chapter.
Signal levels:
Motor Start:
Motor Off:
Less than 1 VDC with respect to signal ground
Greater than 3.5 VDC, less than 18 VDC
If the CP650 is to be used in a platter operation (single projector), a jumper must be
installed. A pre-wired connector is installed at the factory for this purpose.
2-4
®
Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
2.5.2
Installation
Remote Controls
Three types of remote controls can be used with the CP650. A maximum of three
remote units (in any combination) can be used.
The Cat. No. 779 CP650 Remote Control Unit duplicates the front-panel format
selection, fader, and mute functions of the CP650.
The Cat. No. 771 Remote Fader Unit duplicates the front-panel main fader knob
and level display of the CP650.
A customer-supplied 100 kȍ linear pot, wired as a variable resistor, can also be
used. Minimum pot resistance corresponds to a front-panel fader setting of maximum
(10).
Details on how to connect any of these remote controls to the CP650 are shown in
Chapter 8.1 and in the Installation Wiring Input and Control drawing located at the
end of this chapter.
2.5.3
Solar Cell Reader Boards
Most new projectors sold around the world incorporate a reverse-scan LED analog
soundhead reader. In addition, many existing projectors are being upgraded to include
this superior method of playing back SVA soundtracks. The Dolby Cat. No. 655 solar
cell preamp board is an example of this kind of upgrade. The output of the solar cell
in this system is at a lower level than a normal incandescent exciter lamp solar cell. In
order to provide the correct signal level for the cinema processor, this small preamp
board is mounted in the soundhead. Some care needs to be given to the wiring
between the board and the CP650 in order to avoid grounding problems and to
provide immunity to RF interference. In principle, this means separating the audio
ground connections and the RF shielding screen connections.
The 0 V point (audio ground) must be connected from the inboard reader board to the
CP650 by a separate wire (or wires) along with the audio signal wires. The cable
shield (screen) must be kept separate from the audio ground connections. It must be
connected only to the chassis or enclosure of the equipment at each end.
The following diagrams show two connectors on the Cat. No. 655 circuit board. The
three-pin connector, J1, is used for the power connections. The signal output
connector, J2, provides six output pins: two each for the balanced left and right
outputs, and two 0 V audio ground connections.
The physical orientation of the board mounting in the projector and the orientation of
the connector body mounting on the board affect which channel appears on which pin
of the connector. Be aware that pin allocations for the channels will vary
depending on mounting arrangements of the board and connector. The J2
connector pin solder hole with a square outline is pin 1.

There must be a connection between the ground pins at the Cat. No. 655 solar cell
circuit board and the audio common in the CP650. This connection must not use the
shield of the optical input cable, since doing so may impose RF energy on the CP650
ground system.
Pin numbers 6 and 9 of each 9-pin D-connector (“Projector”) on the CP650 allow
these connections to be made. The wire that connects either of these pins to the
Cat. No. 655 audio ground should pass inside the same shield as the optical input
cables and not connect with the shield at any point.

Analog Nonsync Sources
The CP650 has two sets of analog nonsync inputs, designated nonsync 1 (Format 60),
and nonsync 2 (Format 61). The input impedance is 11 kΩ. They both have a wide
range of input level adjustment, but to further extend the possible range of input
levels, the two sets of inputs have different gain adjustment ranges:
• The nonsync 1 input will accommodate input levels between approximately
0.2 and 4 V.
• The nonsync 2 input will accommodate input levels between approximately
0.06 and 1.5 V.
2.5.5
Digital Audio Sources
The CP650 can accept AES/EBU or S/PDIF digital audio bitstreams, generated by
digital audio sources including CD players, DAT recorders, DVD players, satellite
television receivers, HDTV receivers, or HD video players.
With the Cat. No. 790 board (included with the standard model CP650) installed, the
CP650 accepts up to four two-channel PCM (pulse code modulated) bitstreams. Each
bitstream contains the data for two channels of PCM audio. Sampling rates of up to
48 kHz—with up to 24-bit resolution—are accommodated. This bitstream format can
be found on the digital output connector of a CD player, DAT recorder, DVD player,
or any basic piece of digital audio equipment. The inputs are S/PDIF single-ended
signals. To use these inputs, a digital input format (Format 80, 81, 88, 89, or 90) may
be assigned to one of the user-definable format buttons U1, U2, or NS.
See Sections 7.8 and 7.9.
With the Cat. No. 794 board (included with earlier CP650s) installed, the CP650
accepts a digital audio bitstream. The Cat. No. 794 can accept either AES/EBU
differential signals or S/PDIF single-ended signals, depending on jumper settings on
the board itself (see Figure 2-7). To use this input, Format 80 (Master Digital In) must
be assigned to one of the user-defined format buttons U1, U2, or NS. See Sections 7.8
and 7.9.
With an optional Cat. No. 778 board installed, the CP650 gains the capability to
accept up to four two-channel digital audio bitstreams, and provides up to five digital
two-channel audio bitstream outputs. The CP650 can accept either PCM or Dolby
Digital bitstreams on its AES1 digital audio input. Additionally, the Cat. No. 778
allows the CP650 to accept up to four PCM-formatted AES/EBU inputs, giving a
total of eight discrete audio channels. The board provides five AES/EBU outputs to
support up to ten discrete audio channels. All inputs and outputs comply with
AES/EBU standards. The CP650’s main analog outputs are disabled with a Cat. No.
778 installed.

Installation
Connecting to the Digital Audio Input
The external electrical connections to the optional boards in the CP650 are available
on the 25-pin D-connector marked “Option I/O” on the rear panel of the CP650.
Since the boards have different functionality, each pin on this connector changes its
function depending on which optional card is installed. Refer to Table B-2 for the
signal definitions. Make external connections by soldering the appropriate wires to
the male solder-cup connector shipped with the CP650, then plug this connector into
the Option I/O connector on the CP650.
Note: When wiring to the digital inputs on the Cat. No. 790 or Cat. No. 778, be sure
to ground all unused digital inputs. Failure to do so will cause unused channels to
show signal level due to crosstalk between the used digital inputs and the unused
digital inputs.
In a CP650 equipped with a Cat. No. 790 board, the input type is S/PDIF.
See Figure 2-7 for Option I/O connector hookup details. Refer to Table B-2 for signal
definitions.

or S/PDIF) must be selected using jumpers on the board. The default factory setting is
AES/EBU. See Figure 2-7 for Option I/O connector hookup details. Refer to
Table B-2 for signal definitions. When a Cat. No. 778 board is installed, the input
type is always AES/EBU.

Professional Interface Standards for Digital Audio
There are two professional interface formats used for digital audio: AES/EBU (also
known as AES3) and AES3id. These stream the same digital data and professional
audio header information over copper conductor links, but use different types of
conductors and connectors.
AES/EBU uses a balanced connection (two conductors plus shield) with a
characteristic input impedance of 110Ω, nominal peak-to-peak signal level of 5 V,
and most commonly, XLR connectors. The typical maximum transmission distance is
100 meters. AES3id uses an unbalanced connection (one signal conductor plus shield)
with a characteristic input impedance of 75Ω, peak-to-peak signal level of 1 V, and
BNC (“push and twist”) connectors. The typical maximum transmission distance is
1000 meters.
Professional digital audio equipment usually uses the AES/EBU format because
balanced operation yields superior noise immunity, as it does with analog audio
signals, and because XLR connectors have been standard on analog professional
audio equipment.
Professional video equipment usually uses the AES3 variation of this interface, with
BNC connectors. Like the use of XLR connectors on pro audio equipment, the
adoption of BNC connectors for the audio on professional video equipment stems
from their existing use for the video signal. Also, the unbalanced AES3 signal can
connect to more than one piece of equipment by using the loop-through connectors
that are available on some devices, and is robust for long cable runs.
Consumer Interface Standards for Digital Audio
The consumer interface standard for digital audio is S/PDIF (IEC61937). S/PDIF is
found using either coaxial unbalanced connections (one signal conductor plus shield)
with a characteristic input impedance of 75Ω with RCA (phono) connectors, or a
fiber-optic cable with ToslinkTM connectors. The unbalanced coaxial connection has a
peak-to-peak signal level of 0.5 V. The typical maximum transmission distance is
10 meters. Although S/PDIF-specific cables with suitable connectors can be
purchased, good results can also be obtained using high-quality 75Ω video cable with
the appropriate connectors and/or adapters.
Cable Issues
Even in digital audio, noise-free signals are still very important. The cable used for
digital signals is specifically designed for digital audio use, even though it appears to
be the same as that used for analog audio or video signals. Any professional audio
equipment or broadcast supply company can provide 110Ω cable with connectors (or
without, if you wish to terminate them yourself) for AES/EBU connections, and highquality 75Ω video cables with BNC connectors for AES3id connections. Use of
cables or connectors with incorrect impedance or not designed for digital
transmission compromises the integrity of the bitstream and may create an unreliable
link between pieces of equipment, particularly with long cable runs.

Installation
Multiple Sources: Conversion Between Interface Standards
Although some details of the bitstreams used in the AES and S/PDIF standards are
different, the audio information is exactly the same. As a consequence, most audio
equipment will accept either standard with no need to convert the bitstream itself; this
is the case with the CP650. However, if you intend to connect sources across different
types of digital audio inputs, Do not attempt to convert a digital interface type by, for
example, directly wiring an XLR connector to a BNC or RCA plug. This causes an
impedance mismatch and signal reflections, resulting in degradation of the digital
waveform. It may seem to work, but the results are unreliable and dropouts occur.
For conversion between the AES3id and S/PDIF formats you can use high-quality
RCA (phono plug)-to-BNC adapters because the cable and impedance are both the
same (75Ω).
For conversion between the AES/EBU and AES3id or AES/EBU and S/PDIF
formats, a simple and economical method is to use inline transformers. These devices
perform the necessary impedance and balanced/unbalanced conversion. Table 2–2
shows some examples of suitable adapters. The unbalanced connector in these
examples is a BNC. BNC-to-RCA adapters can be added to connect to consumer
S/PDIF connections. The units listed use passive circuitry.

Front Panel and Alignment Overview
This chapter describes the features on the CP650 front panel, along with an overview
of the general principles involved in the alignment of Dolby® cinema equipment. It is
useful to develop an understanding of why the CP650 is aligned as described in this
manual. If the installer is already familiar with the CP650 and these principles, or is
in a hurry to complete the installation, this chapter may be read later. Continue the
setup procedure beginning with the next chapter.

Figure 3-2 Front-Panel Display Showing All Possible Channels Active
Day-to-day operation of the CP650 is performed through interaction with this display.
The 20-character, four-line LCD provides a read-out of processor condition and
operation mode. It can be used by the service engineer to align the CP650 if PC setup
software is not used.
Figure 3-2 shows the display that is active when the CP650 is processing and playing
a digital signal connected to the CP650 input with all channels active. The top two
lines display the current format, which in this case is Dolby® Digital Surround EXTM,
with five screen channels active. The bottom left area contains an active bar graph
display of the sound signals present on each channel. The bars move, confirming that
sound is passing through the CP650.
The bars are displayed starting with the Left screen channel, and moving clockwise
around the auditorium:
Left screen, Left Extra screen, Center screen, Right Extra screen, Right screen,
Right Surround, Back Surround Right, Back Surround Left, Left Surround,
Subwoofer.
The L on the display indicates that fader control is set to local, meaning that the fader
knob on the front panel of the CP650 (and any Dolby remote box fader knob) controls
the sound level in the auditorium. If the display shows an A, an external non-Dolby
auditorium fader knob controls the sound level.
M1 indicates that the projector 1 motor contact is closed or jumpered (motor-start
connector on the back panel). The motor running signals are used in the timing of
changeovers while running Dolby Digital films in a two-projector system.
The 0 shown on the bottom right is the Dolby Digital film error rate. The first
indication of satisfactory digital film playback is the detection of a low error rate. The
error rate is a number between 0 and 8. With a correctly aligned digital film reader,
most films will play at an error rate of 6 or lower. If the digital error rate exceeds 8, or
if the display shows F (data not readable) or “–”(no digital soundtrack), the CP650
automatically switches to playing the film’s analog soundtrack until usable data
appears.

The digital sound data from current films produced with the Dolby Digital
Surround EX process contains auto-switching bits (Surround EX flags). A CP650
equipped with the Cat. No. 790 Surround EX Board detects these bits and
automatically switches the CP650 to Surround EX decoding. If the flags indicate that
the film is not a Surround EX film, or if the flag bits are not present, Surround EX
mode is switched off. The Bsr and Bsl channels are automatically configured for
either 5.1 mode or Surround EX mode.

Level Display
The main fader level is displayed as a two-digit number. Starting from a display of
0.0, the level increases from –90 to –10 dB (display 4.0) as the fader knob is turned
clockwise. The level then increases in smaller steps from –10 to +10 dB (display 10).
As with previous generations of Dolby cinema processors, a fader setting of 7.0
(0 dB) is the nominal correct operating level. This setting matches the level used
during production of the film.
Main Fader Knob
Use this knob to adjust the sound level. A fader reading of 7.0 is the nominal correct
operating level. The main fader knob rotates continuously with no end-stops. The
knob is also used for data selection during setup operations.
When the fader knob is rotated between readings 0 and 4.0, the output level changes
in 20 dB steps between –90 and –10 dB. When the fader knob is rotated between
readings 4.0 and 10, the output level changes in 3 1/3 dB steps between –10 dB and
+10 dB.

Power Supply Button
This button operates the main power supply for the CP650. As with other Dolby
cinema processors, the CP650 utilizes a separate backup (bypass) power supply. A
red LED built into the switch is activated when the unit is powered from the bypass
supply. While the main power supply is in use, this button is not illuminated, and the
screen and other indicators operate normally. When this button is illuminated red, the
unit is in bypass mode, either because bypass mode has been manually selected (by
using the button) or because a fault has been automatically detected. In bypass mode,
the unit is powered by the built-in bypass power supply.

Aligning the B-Chain and A-Chain
The B-chain is made up of system components from the main fader through to the
loudspeakers. In the CP650, B-chain adjustments include speaker equalization, level
settings, surround speaker delay settings, and mute fading time. If your CP650 is
equipped with an optional Cat. No.791 Crossover Card, additional steps are required
such as setting crossover points, filter types, and crossover slopes to select.
It is not practical for the entire cinema industry to standardize to a single make and
model of loudspeaker. The different acoustical characteristics of individual theatres
require individual speaker solutions. Therefore, electronic equalization of individual
loudspeaker systems is used to achieve consistent results in a broad spectrum of
environments, and with a broad range of speakers.
Accurate equalization requires the use of standardized acoustic measurement
procedures.
The CP650’s built-in pink-noise generator provides a continuous random noise signal
that covers the total bandwidth. This signal is used to measure and adjust the response
of the loudspeakers. The use of random noise eliminates the problems inherent with
the use of test tones (standing wave patterns in the theatres) and enables the frequency
response of the entire system to be observed. Each channel can be measured and
adjusted independent of the other channels.
A multi-microphone setup with multiplexer is placed in the auditorium to receive the
pink noise reproduced by the loudspeaker. The output of the selected microphone is
fed to a real-time analyzer (RTA) circuit built into the CP650 (or to your separate
3-8

Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
Front-Panel and Alignment Overview
RTA if you prefer.) Equalization can be performed by using an oscilloscope
connected to the RTA output test points or by using a PC running Dolby setup
software. Either display will represent the spectrum received by the microphones. The
effect of adjustments to the equalizers is quickly and easily seen. The Auditorium
AssistTM feature, available in system software version 2.0 and above, measures and
saves the auditorium characteristics for future checking.
One of the problems inherent in equalization is the nature of the environment. In an
open space, a perfect loudspeaker, radiating a perfectly flat pink-noise response in all
directions, placed in front of a perfectly flat microphone, producing perfectly flat
response to sounds arriving from all directions, will display a perfectly flat response
on the RTA output. In an enclosed space such as a theatre, the results are different.
When the pink-noise generator is first turned on, all of the sound that initially reaches
the microphone comes directly from the loudspeaker, and the response is flat—for a
few milliseconds. Then, reflected sound from the walls, ceiling, floor, seats, and so on
arrives at the microphone, together with the direct sound from the loudspeaker. This
indirect, or reflected, sound reinforces the direct sound. The system soon settles into
an equilibrium condition. As much energy is being absorbed by the walls, ceiling, and
seats as is fed into the room. Since high- and mid-frequency energy is absorbed when
sound is reflected, the displayed response appears to have a falling treble
characteristic. At first glance, boosting the high frequencies may appear to be the
logical solution to achieve a flat steady-state response, but such an arrangement
works only on sustained sounds. Dialogue contains short, impulsive sounds that will
yield a much-too-bright result because there is no time for reverberation to build and
add to the original sound. A standard response curve is required that favors such
impulsive “first arrival” sound and implies the same gently falling response that is
observed when the output of an ideal loudspeaker is measured with a perfect
microphone in the theatre.
The amount of reverberation varies with frequency. As frequency rises, more audio is
absorbed rather than being reflected. A typical reverberation curve in a theatre rolls
off at about 3 dB per octave above 2 kHz. This characteristic is used to define the
standard steady-state response curve for all dubbing theatres in which films with
Dolby soundtracks are mixed and for all Dolby processor-equipped cinemas.
The size of the theatre affects the reverberation time, and therefore the measurement
of frequency response. After alignment to this standard curve, some slight adjustment
of high-frequency slope may be necessary for extremely large or small theatres. The
Bulk EQ Treble Adj. menu selection can be used to reduce the output by
approximately 1 dB at 8 kHz for very a large theatre; or to increase the output 1 dB at
8 kHz for a very small theatre. Any such adjustment should be based on an
evaluation, by ear, of actual known films rather than as a rule of thumb.
Some loudspeakers used in theatres are far from ideal and require boosting of the
low- and high-frequency extremes in order to produce an approximation of the
standard reference response curve. Bass and treble controls centered on the turnover
points of typical loudspeakers lift the ends of the spectrum without the need for large
amounts of narrow-band boost from the third-octave EQ circuitry.
3-9

Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
Front-Panel and Alignment Overview
The final factor is masking of the screen. The masking curtains must be drawn back
sufficiently to clear the left and right screen speakers before any adjustments or
measurements are made. The high-frequency horns should clear the screen frame and
be mounted as close as possible to the screen. Conventional black felt side-masking
can severely restrict high-frequency response. Consequently, there would be severe
losses if the left and right loudspeakers were equalized with the masking set for a
2.35:1 film, and then the masking were brought in for a 1.85:1 film, thus obscuring
the outer speakers. To avoid this problem, some theatres have installed acoustically
transparent masking cloth, and others leave the masking open whenever they are
showing a 1.85:1 film with a stereo soundtrack. Moving the speakers towards the
center of the screen to clear heavy masking is not a good solution, since the stereo
separation would be degraded.
Repainted screens cannot be used for quality sound playback, because the
perforations, which allow the high frequencies through the screen, can become
clogged with paint.

Check Theatre Equipment
Thoroughly check the loudspeakers and power amplifiers for any sources of poor
performance, using the suggested checklists below as a guide.
Speakers
• Loudspeaker cables—Check that they are in good condition and that they are the
correct gauge for the impedance of the speakers and the length of the run.
• Speaker wiring—Check that the speakers are connected to the correct power amp
channel.
• Rattles—A leak in the low-frequency driver cabinet may sound like a rattle.
• Also check for loose bolts or other hardware.
• Open drivers—In systems with pairs of drivers, one voice coil of the pair may be
open but the system will still function. Check the speakers with an ohm meter. If
one channel requires markedly more equalization than the other, or if one speaker
overloads at lower levels than the other speakers, an open driver circuit could be
the cause.
• Check for missing drivers or other components.
• Crossover settings matching the type of drivers in use and the acoustics of the
theatre—The high-frequency driver level control must be set for the best possible
frequency response before you attempt any equalization. This is especially true if
the system uses active crossovers with bi-amp equipment. If your CP650 is
equipped with a Cat. No. 791 Crossover Board, please refer to
Section 4.4 for information on settings.
• Check for proper polarity between the low- and high-frequency drivers, and
between the channels.
• Aiming of speakers—Ensure that the speakers are correctly aimed into the
auditorium, and that they are not obstructed by the screen frame, struts, or other
obstructions.
Amplifiers
• Check for distortion.
• Gross gain differences among amplifiers—If one amplifier differs in performance
from the others, it should be checked and repaired if necessary, before proceeding
further. Input gain controls should all be at the same setting.
• Check for blown fuses.
4-1
®
Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
B-Chain Alignment
• Ensure that there is good air movement through power amplifiers.
Air-Conditioning
If air-conditioning noise is audible in the theatre, arrange for lubrication of the motor
and fan bearings, adjustment of belts and drives, and cleaning of filters to reduce the
ambient noise to a minimum.
4.2
Microphone Placement
Position a microphone multiplexer in the center of the listening area. Place each
microphone in the auditorium so that each is substantially in the reverberant field
rather than in an area that receives the most direct energy from the speakers. In
addition, avoid perfect symmetry. Arrange the microphones so that they are not
arranged in a perfect square or rectangle parallel to the sides of the room. Take care
not to place any of the microphones (except mic number 1) on the central axis of the
room. Standing waves and nodes at these positions can cause measurement errors.
Microphone number 1 should be placed two-thirds of the distance from the front
speakers to the rear, at the exact side-to-side center of the room, approximately five
feet above the floor level, and rotated 45 degrees upward towards the screen.
Placement of this microphone is important for output level adjustments.
1.5 meters
(5 feet)
Figure 4–1 EQ Microphone Placement
If a single microphone is used (NOT advised), the recommended position would be
two-thirds of the way from the front speakers to the rear, off the axis of the center
speaker, five feet above the floor level, and rotated 45 degrees upward towards the
screen.
Route the output cable to the CP650 and connect it to the microphone connector on
the rear panel or front setup panel (XLR on the rear panel or nine-pin D-connector
“MIC MUX” input on front setup panel). The mic input connectors are wired in
parallel. Phantom power is optionally provided to both mic connectors by moving

Initial Output-Level Calibration
Each of the channels should now be adjusted to give a reasonable sound pressure
level in the room. It is not necessary to get exact readings at this point because the
levels will change slightly during equalization of the room. Exact output level
adjustment will be performed after equalization.
Note: If pink noise is not being generated, this indicates that the status of the digital

channel (Left high, Right high, and Center high) to boost high frequencies. This
allows the outputs to overcome the loss caused by placing the high-frequency drivers
behind a perforated theatre screen. The circuit adds a maximum of 8 dB boost starting
at approximately 6 kHz. This boost, combined with the bulk treble and equalization
adjustments, provides enough high-frequency gain to suit most applications.
Since not all applications require this boost, jumpers are provided on the card to
enable or disable it. The jumpers are set to disable at the factory. See Section 9.3.2

Room Equalization
Room equalization is performed using the real-time analyzer (RTA) circuit built into
the CP650 along with an oscilloscope for RTA display. The adjustments for all output
channels involves two steps: coarse, or “bulk,” adjustment using bass and treble
controls, and fine adjustment, using a 27-band equalizer. Subwoofer channel
equalization involves setting the frequency, “Q,” and level of “cut,” using a singleband parametric equalizer circuit.
If your CP650 is equipped with an optional Cat. No. 791 Crossover Board, there are
additional steps to perform before setting room equalization. See Section 4.7.1 below.
The RTA screen on the scope displays a standard (ISO 2969) response curve. The
ideal setting is reached when the room response readings fall on (or very close to) this
standard curve.
Note: If pink noise is not being generated, this indicates that the status of the digital
input has changed. If you are using the digital input on the CP650, either disconnect
or power down the device attached the digital input during equalization. A change in
the digital input bitstream will cause the CP650 to mute the pink noise.
4.7.1
Crossover Level Adjustment (for CP650s with Cat. No. 791)
If your CP650 is equipped with a Cat. No. 791 Crossover Board, perform the steps
below before adjusting the bulk treble and bass settings in the next section. In order to
properly set the levels of the various bands (low and high for 2-Way, or low, mid, and
high for 3-Way systems), you must first adjust the levels of all bands to be
approximately equal. By performing this adjustment first, the final amount of
equalization required to match the standard response curve will be less.

changing as the EQ Assist operates. When the cursor begins blinking again (after
approximately eight seconds) EQ Assist has finished.
It is important to note that the lowest three bands of the graphic equalizer (40, 50, and
63 Hz) and the uppermost two bands (12.5 and 16 kHz) will not be adjusted. This is
to protect the speakers against undesirable level boosts in those bands. Set these

A-Chain Alignment
5.1
Overview
The A-chain alignment involves adjustments made to the projector soundhead optics,
solar cell, and optical preamplifier board. It is the part of the sound system that covers
the film path, analog soundtrack solar cell, optical preamplifier, slit-loss equalizer,
digital soundtrack reader, associated digital signal processing and decoding circuitry,
and Dolby® processing circuits.
The A-chain optical level is calibrated with the Cat. No. 69T Dolby Tone test film.
This film is used to establish the correct Dolby operating level within the CP650.
A Cat. No. 69P pink-noise test film is used for A-chain frequency response and
soundhead alignment. Pink noise has a constant amount of energy per 1/3-octave
band, creating a flat response on a real-time analyzer display.
The optical slit is the key element in the A-chain because it imposes the initial
limitation on the high-frequency response of the system. Light from the exciter lamp
passes through the optical slit and is focused on the optical soundtracks on the film.
The light that passes through the soundtracks falls on the stereo solar cell, which
generates an electrical signal proportional to the audio signal recorded on the optical
soundtracks. The slit introduces high-frequency loss, which must be compensated by
circuitry in the CP650.
The slit image must be correctly focused on the film and must be set at precisely a
right angle to the direction of film movement in order to maintain the correct phase
relationships between the two optical tracks. Any azimuth error will show as a loss of
high frequency in the front channels and potentially excessive crosstalk in the
surround channels.
Each channel in the CP650 optical preamplifier is equipped with a slit-loss equalizer
control. Adjustment of this control shifts a fixed amount of boost upward or
downward in frequency, but the shape of the curve remains constant. A flat response
to 16 kHz can be achieved.

5.3
Analog Optical Alignment: Projector
If a stereo solar cell is already installed on
Projector No. 1, inspect the surface of the cell
for cracks, chipping, or other damage. If the
cell appears to require replacement, remove the
mounting bracket from the projector and
replace the cell and mounting block assembly.
Clean the lens surfaces with a cotton swab
moistened with glass cleaner. But keep in mind
that you may find, during optical preamp
adjustment, that it will be necessary to remove
and inspect the lens if the high-frequency
response is not correct.
If the lens is removed, clean the lens as
indicated above and look through the lens at a
light. Repeated heating and cooling of the lens
can cause oil or other contaminants to enter the
lens barrel. Verify that there is a clear,
unobstructed light path through the lens and
that the edges of the slit are sharp without
cracks or corrosion. Fit a new lens assembly if
you are unable to clear the optical path through
the slit.
Inspect the lateral film guides for evidence of
cuts, cracks, surface defects, or any foreign
materials that could impair the film guiding.
Clean or replace the guides as necessary. The
guide roller must rotate freely; if it is springmounted, make sure that lateral movement and
return are not obstructed. If the roller has a felt
or rubber insert, check for a flat spot and
replace the roller if necessary.

Place a white card at the front of the lens close
to the position of the film sound track. Adjust
the position of the exciter lamp until the image
of the filament is centered both vertically and
horizontally as shown.
If you have difficulty obtaining an image of the
filament, place a piece of tissue paper over the
lens to assist in seeing the image. Some
projectors do not use adjusting screws to
change the position of the lamp; shims are
sometimes used for positioning.
Loosely install the stereo solar cell bracket on
the projector. Position the bracket carefully
until the surface of the cell is 1 mm from the
film plane surface. If this distance is exceeded,
there will be crosstalk between the two optical
stereo tracks. Check the image of the slit on the
cell: It should be a thin sharp line. The slit
image should be the width of the cell, and
positioned three-quarters of the way up the
cell. Try to get the best compromise among all
of these conditions and then tighten the cell
bracket mounting screws.
Confirm that the cell wiring and connections
are correct. Shielded cables must be used. The
inner conductors must be wired to the CP650
OPTICAL input connectors exactly as shown
on the wiring diagram foldout.
Note: The solar cell associated with the right channel is
closest to the edge of the film.

Digital Soundheads
6.1
Mechanical Alignment
Mechanical alignment of the Cat. No. 701 (or 700) Digital Soundhead consists of
confirming that the film path through the digital soundhead is aligned with the path
through the projector. For built-in reverse-scan (basement) digital soundheads, see the
manufacturer's instructions.
1. Thread a length of film from a supply reel through the digital soundhead (refer to
the threading diagram located on the soundhead), and continue through the
projector as you would any film.
2. Apply tension to the film and inspect for equal tension on both edges of the film.
3. Check for uneven forces on the rollers, or twisting of the film.
4. When the path is aligned, tighten the soundhead mounting bolts and reel arm.
Set film path so that top and bottom tension
arm rollers A are approximately 5 mm (1/4 inch) apart.
Use the white painted semi-circles B for angular alignment
of tension arms C . Make sure that the rollers do not touch.

Note: The Cat. No. 701 Digital Soundhead is optically aligned at the factory and
should not require adjustment unless the CCD Circuit Board has been disturbed.
The following test setup will enable adjustment of focus and confirmation or
adjustment of light level and optical alignment.
1. Make sure power to the digital soundhead is provided. Power to the CP650 should
also be on.
2. Open the CP650 front-panel setup access door.
3. Connect a probe from Channel 1 of an oscilloscope (with 20 MHz or greater
bandwidth) to the VIDEO Test Point, with the ground lead attached to the ground
test point.
4. Connect a second probe from the scope’s Channel 2 to the CLAMP signal test
point to trigger the scope. Connect the second probe’s ground wire to the ground
test point.
5. Set the trigger source on the scope to Channel 2.
6. Adjust the Channel 2 vertical trace position to move the trace off the screen. It is
not necessary to view this signal after triggering has been established.
7. Adjust the scope for one horizontal trace across the screen, and adequate vertical
gain (approximately 2 µs/div. horizontal, 1 V/div. vertical).
8. With digital film threaded and running in the projector, observe the video
waveform. (See Figure 6-2.)
6.3
Focus Adjustment
Cat. No. 701 (or 700) Digital Soundheads are factory adjusted and should not require
adjustment during installation. If the soundhead has become misadjusted, it may be
necessary to re-focus. Using the setup as above, adjust the objective lens/CCD
assembly in the reader head by loosening the 2 mm hex socket set screw (located
below the lens bore), which holds the lens/CCD assembly in place, then moving the
assembly back and forth. There are two methods for moving the assembly. A flat
blade screw driver inserted in the oval slot above the lens can be twisted to slide the
assembly. Alternatively, if the CCD circuit board cover is removed, the assembly can
be moved back and forth with your thumb and forefinger. The best focus is achieved
when the scope pattern has minimum brightness in the center of the trace. (See
Figure 6-2.) Look for the most “in-focus” display possible, while maintaining
minimum brightness inside the envelope. Setting the best focus will help minimize
the digital error rate.
Re-tighten the lens-holding screw.

7.2
Setting Optical Surround Delay
In analog optical formats, the CP650 incorporates a delay line in the surround channel
to ensure that sound from the rear of the theatre arrives at the listeners’ ears
approximately 20 milliseconds after the arrival of sound from the front speakers. The
delay is adjustable from 20 to 150 ms, in 1 ms steps. The setting is stored to CP650
memory using the procedure outlined below. Use the following formula to calculate
the correct delay setting:
1. Estimate the distance between a rear seat and the nearest surround loudspeaker, in
feet. If the metric system is used, multiply the meters by 3 to convert to feet.
2. Estimate the distance from this seat to the front loudspeakers (again, in feet). If
the metric system is used, multiply the distance by 3 to convert distance from
meters to feet.
3. Subtract the distance measured in step 1 above from the distance measured in
step 2, then add 20. The result is the delay time, in milliseconds.
For example:
• The selected seat is 10 feet (3.3 meters) from the nearest surround speaker.
• The selected seat is 80 feet (26.7 meters) from the front speakers.
• The delay is set for (80-10) + 20 = 90 milliseconds.

Rotate the front-panel knob to show the desired
delay, then push the OK button.
You can verify that the delay setting is acceptable by listening to a familiar Dolby®
A-type film that ideally contains both center-channel dialogue and some discernible
surround sound. The Dolby Cat. No. 251 SR/Digital film “Jiffy” serves this purpose
well. If a stereo film is not available, the delay time can be checked with a mono film
if the film is played in Format 04, Dolby A-type optical with surround. All speakers
should be on for this test.
While the film is playing, walk around the theatre and listen carefully to the surround
speakers during center-channel dialogue. The dialogue should appear to be coming
primarily from the screen, and not from the surround speakers.
If you hear discernible dialogue from the surround speakers, the delay time was
probably set too long.
If you hear an objectionable amount of dialogue from the surround speakers that
persists regardless of the delay time setting, there is probably a severe gain or azimuth
error in the system. Re-check both the Dolby level and the A-chain alignment of the
optical system.
In many films, the surround information is intended for subtle effects and may
provide only a low-level ambience. If the surround level and delay time have been
adjusted as previously described, the surround information will be at the level desired
by the film director. Do not be tempted to increase the surround level, because the
effect desired by the film production team may be thwarted.

The CP650 automatically calculates a typical digital surround delay based on the
optical surround delay setting performed in the previous section. Actual theatre
geometry affects the amount of surround delay required; you may, therefore, wish to
set the delay manually.

Setting Dolby Digital Reader Delay
On a Dolby Digital print, the digital sound data is located 6 frames in advance of the
analog soundtrack, and 26 frames in advance of the picture. When the digital
soundhead is mounted above the analog soundhead (as with the Cat. No. 701), a delay
is necessary to synchronize the digital soundtrack with the analog track and the
picture. In the CP650, this delay is set by entering the number of film perforations,
within the range from 12 perfs (approximately 160 ms delay) to 512 perfs
(approximately 5 seconds).
Soundhead delay can be determined in either of two ways—static or dynamic— as
described below:
Static
1. Thread a length of Cat. No. 1010 Digital Soundhead alignment test film such that
the “bullet” frame (perf 106) is located in the picture gate, and perf number 26 is
located at the analog soundhead.
2. With the length threaded through the Cat. No. 701 Digital Soundhead, read the
number of perforations present in the light path of the digital soundhead. Enter
this number using the procedure shown below:
Dolby Digital
Reader Delay
> xxx Perforations
OK
= xxx Perfs
Press the left menu button to move to the Dolby
Digital Reader Delay menu.
Rotate the front-panel knob to show the number of
perforations obtained above, then push the OK
button.
3. Verify the accuracy of the setting by running a loop of Cat. No. 1010 test film and
observing that the flash on the screen coincides with a pip in the sound.

7.14 Running Auditorium Assist
The Auditorium AssistTM feature, included in CP650 operating system software
version 2.0 and higher, provides an indication of the stability and characteristics of
your theatre’s speakers, crossovers, amplifiers, and auditorium acoustics. The first
time it is used, the frequency response and sound level of each speaker are checked
and stored in the CP650 memory. Whenever Auditorium Assist is subsequently
selected, all channels are measured and compared to these reference settings.
Auditorium Assist also checks and compares the level of the ambient noise floor in
the auditorium to the reference level originally stored.
7.14.1
Operation
Activate the Auditorium Assist reference measurement function after the first B-chain
alignment is finished, and again after any subsequent changes in the EQ settings or
sound equipment have been made. The initial measurements should be performed
after the CP650 theatre installation is complete: with seats, carpet, screen, and room
treatment all installed. Auditorium conditions should include the following:
•
•
•
•
Curtains and masking fully open
Auditorium unoccupied
Doors closed
Heating and air conditioning system switched to a known and repeatable

“FAIL” Parameters
Noise Floor
A failure is indicated if a new auditorium noise floor measurement differs from the
saved reference measurement by more than ±10 dB. The measurement is taken at a
bandwidth between 20 Hz and 16 kHz.
The noise level in the auditorium is an important part of any theatre environment.
This test is designed to measure the room noise, and to determine if it has changed
significantly. The CP650 mutes, and a comparison is made between the noise
received by the microphone and the stored reference reading. If this comparison fails,
the following message is inserted into the event log:
“Aud Noise xx dBr”
Where xx dB is the number of decibels over or under the stored reference noise
reading. If the auditorium noise is more than ±10 dB from the reference level, then
the frequency tests do not occur.
Level and Frequency Response
A failure is indicated if a new frequency response measurement of any channel (L, C,
R, Ls, Rs, Bsl, or Bsr) differs from the saved reference measurements by more than
±3 dB. The measurement is taken in the region between 200 Hz and 5 kHz.
A failure is indicated in the subwoofer channel if the frequency response deviates by
more than ±5 dB from the reference reading, in the region between 60 and 100 Hz. A
change in the sound level from a speaker can be caused by many factors, including:
• Power amplifier gain has been changed, or the amplifier has failed
• Crossover has been changed or has failed
• Speaker has been changed, has failed, an element has an open circuit, etc.
If the comparison fails any of the frequency response/level tests, a message is inserted
into the event log. For example:
“R FAIL MH”
The “R” indicates the Right channel. An “L,” “M,” or “H” represents low-, mid-, and
high-frequency regions. L frequencies are below 315 Hz, M frequencies are between
315 Hz and 2 kHz, and H frequencies are above 2 kHz. If more than one channel
failed the test, multiple events are added to the event log.

Introduction
This chapter covers installation of the Cat. No. 779 Remote Control and the
Cat. No. 771 Remote Fader. Before installing remote units, read these general
considerations:
• No more than three remote units (in any combination) may be used with a
CP650. A customer-supplied auditorium fader can be connected in addition to
the remotes, but it cannot be operated at the same time as any remote.
• The combined length of connecting cable to all the remote units should not
exceed 100 m (300 ft).
• When you connect one or more remote units to the CP650, all units are live
and communicate with each other. Any fader level adjustment changes the
display on all of the connected units.
Before installing any remote units, check the software version running in your
CP650:
Press the left menu button multiple times to step
through the menus to About this CP650.
Note: You can also press and hold the left menu button while

To install the remote fader:
1. Remove the four screws from the corners of the front-panel. Store the screws
nearby and remove the rear housing.
Caution: Do not touch circuit-board components. Static electricity can damage
components.
2. Make a hole in the housing for the interface wire. We recommend you place the
hole on the bottom if the remote fader will be mounted, or on a side if the fader
will stand alone.
3. Use a two-conductor shielded cable (Belden 8451 or equivalent) to connect the
remote to the CP650. To prevent wear on the cable from the metal edge of the
hole you create, use a rubber or neoprene grommet on the cable. The diameter of
the hole you make should be the same as the diameter of the cable grommet or

4. Thread the interface wire and attach the +voltage, data, and ground wires to the
interface connector as shown in Figure 8–3.
5. Use a small flatblade screwdriver to set address switch SW2. Do not set the
arrow to the “0” position, because that setting generates an error message and
disables the unit. It is not important what number any single unit is set to, but no
two remote units can be set to the same number, so record what address you set
for each unit. If your installation includes only one remote unit right now, it is still
a good idea to record the setting in case you add another remote later.
6. Replace the housing, pulling the interface cable tight enough to keep it from
touching any components on the circuit board.
7. Secure the front-panel to the housing with the screws you removed in Step 1.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
9.1
Print Cleanliness
As with any soundtrack, keeping the film print clean will give best performance. The
Dolby® Digital print format has robust error correction information encoded along
with the audio data, and the CP650 uses a powerful digital error-correction technique,
allowing the data to be read perfectly even if scratches and dirt are present. However,
best performance will be obtained if the print is kept clean. Standard film cleaners
will provide good results.
The sound quality of the digital track has properties unlike those of an analog track
with regard to print wear. With any analog track, print wear will degrade quality in a
more or less linear fashion; the more wear, the lower the quality of the sound. With a
digital soundtrack, wear will have no audible effect until the picture quality is
degraded beyond use. At this point, wear may exceed the error correction capabilities
of the Dolby Digital decoder, and the CP650 will automatically switch to the analog
Dolby SR track.

ANALOG
(Sound & Picture)
Quality

Figure 9–1 Digital/Analog Track Wear
9.2
Digital Soundhead Maintenance
The digital soundhead should be kept clean and free of dust and dirt for best
performance, just like the analog soundhead. Wiping the external surfaces with a
clean cloth on a regular basis will keep the head looking new. The optical path should
be inspected regularly and kept clean with a photographer’s lens cleaning kit
(available from most camera stores). Use care not to scratch the lens. The film path
(rollers and drum) should be cleaned regularly, as you would on the projector.
Acetone, carbon tetrachloride, and other dangerous cleaners should not be used.

5. Attach the wires to the replacement LED assembly using the same wire locations
as in the original LED assembly. The wires may require restripping since they
have been compressed previously, and could be too weak. Inspect the wires
carefully before attaching them to the terminals.
6. Remount the LED assembly onto the pivot pin. Initial adjustment can be made by
tightening the screws slightly with a parallel gap between the rear of the LED
assembly and the facing edge of the arm. Using a sheet of paper will usually
provide the proper clearance.

The sound from two or more channels is
distorted and you can hear the distortion
through the booth monitor at normal
listening level.
Symptom
®
Call service engineer.

system may be malfunctioning.
9-14
Call service engineer.
The A-chain has become misaligned.
If two distorted channels are served by the same twochannel amplifier, the problem may be in the amplifier. See
the manufacturer's instructions.
Recommended Action
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Call service engineer.
Check Dolby level calibration.
Call service engineer.
Malfunctioning two-channel power amplifier.
Probable Cause
Dolby Model CP650 Troubleshooting Chart
Sound from a mono film is distorted, as is
sound from the center channel of a stereo
film.
Nonsync sound is heard in other formats.
There is distortion when you play nonsync sound, but sound from the film is not
distorted.
Symptom
®
Malfunctioning loudspeaker.
Malfunctioning power amplifier.
9-15
Defective Cat. No. 772 board.
The nonsync source output level is set far too high or
there is a balanced/unbalanced wiring problem.
Excessive output level from nonsync source.
The nonsync source is introducing distortion.
Probable Cause
Dolby Model CP650 Troubleshooting Chart
Interchange speakers to determine if distortion is still
present.
Interchange power amplifiers to determine if distortion is
still present.
Call service engineer.
Turn down nonsync source level if possible and call service
engineer. If turning the nonsync source down doesn’t
correct the problem, turn it off during the show.
Change the nonsync selection (in case the track being
played is distorted). If you have control of the output level
of the nonsync device (cassette deck, CD player, etc.), turn
down its output level, especially if you have to operate the
nonsync with the fader set far below 7. If this does not help,
try a different device. If changing both the device and the
selection does not eliminate the distortion, the problem is in
the CP650, probably on the Cat. No. 772 board.
Recommended Action
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The CP650 freezes into one format and
does not accept any other selected format
when you press the front-panel buttons.
With an automation system connected to
the CP650:
Projector changeover command does not
change the sound to the output of the
selected projector and the front-panel
indicators P1 or P2 do not light according
to the projector selected.
CHANGEOVER AND
CONTROL TROUBLES
Symptom
®
Call service engineer.
Unplug the D-connector from the back of the CP650. If
you can exercise local control over the CP650, the problem
is either the wiring to the automation equipment or the
automation equipment itself. Call service engineer.
Defective Cat. No. 772 board.
9-16
If you cannot exercise local control over the CP650 even
with the automation equipment disconnected, switch to
bypass mode by pressing the front-panel power button, and
call service engineer.
Check that the wiring has not been damaged and that
connections are firmly made at both ends.
Defective wiring from relay or switch to terminals on rear
of the CP650.
Incorrect wiring to D-connector plugged into CP650;
defective or incorrectly programmed automation
equipment.
If possible, check that the relay or switch contacts actually
open and close as the changeover command is issued
several times.
Recommended Action
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Defective changeover relay or switch.
Probable Cause
Dolby Model CP650 Troubleshooting Chart
You can hear pops or thumps during
projector changeover.
Symptom
®
Malfunctioning Cat. No. 772 board.
9-17
If the projector changeover relay is AC powered, a
capacitor soldered to the relay coil terminals may be
defective.
If the projector changeover relay power is DC, a diode
should be soldered across the winding of the relay to
prevent switching noise from leaking into the audio
wiring. This diode may be missing or defective.
Probable Cause
Dolby Model CP650 Troubleshooting Chart
Call service engineer to correct the malfunction.
Install a 0.01 µF 600 V capacitor across the relay coil
terminals.
If possible, check that the diode is installed across the
relay winding. If you are familiar with such electronic
components, check to see that it is not defective. If the
diode is not present or if it appears to be open, install a
good diode. Activate the changeover and use a multimeter
to find the polarity of DC that appears on the relay coil.
Install the diode with the band end soldered to the positive
terminal. The diode should be a 1N4004 (1A, 400 V), or
1N4008 (1A, 800 V), or equivalent.

The optional Cat. No. 778 card has four pairs of AES inputs, the first of which
provides a single digital bitstream input (Dolby Digital), or up to eight channels of
digital PCM audio input. The card provides eight channels of digital audio outputs
while supporting the Dolby Digital Surround EX audio format. With this card
installed, all output channel level trims default to 127 to allow for the proper gain
structure. The analog outputs of the CP650 are muted when a Cat. No. 778 card is
installed. All audio outputs are digital.

Optical Input Connectors (1 and 2)
There are two connectors for analog solar cell inputs from analog soundheads. Up to
two projectors can be connected to the CP650. The pinout for each connector is
identical. In addition to providing for the input of the analog soundhead signals, the
CP650 has bipolar DC outputs to supply power to optical preamplifiers (±14 VDC).
This DC voltage is supplied from the CP650 bypass power supply to ensure that
optical preamplifiers still function if the CP650 switches to bypass operation during a
performance. The maximum supply current available is 15 mA per preamp.

Walk around the auditorium, and make an overall
judgment of the surround level compared to the
screen level. Because of the “diffuse” nature of
the surround sound, it will commonly require a
slight increase in surround level to get it to match
the screen level. The tonal balance and acoustic
level should subjectively match.
Rotate the fader knob to set the surround level

Format Definitions
Format Definitions
The formats supported by the CP650 are described below. If a format name is too
long for display on the CP650 front-panel (limited to 19 characters), a second, short
name is given.
Format 01
Academy Mono Optical
Short name: Mono
Audio Description: Optical mono audio comes in on either projector’s optical input,
has no noise reduction applied, and is intended to produce audio on the center channel
only. This format takes Lt + Rt and puts the result on the center channel only. There
is no derived subwoofer. The mono EQ and mono level trim settings are enabled.
In this format, processing is applied after the optical preamps and the slit-loss filter, to
obtain the desired response curve.
Format 04
Dolby A-type Optical
Short name: Dolby A-type
Audio Description: Either projector’s optical input provides Lt/Rt inputs, and matrix
decoding produces four output channels (L, C, R, S). A-type noise reduction is
applied to Lt and Rt.
The subwoofer signal is derived by summing L + C + R (after matrix decoding). This
audio is then filtered by applying a user-selectable 50 or 100 Hz subwoofer filter,
applying the downward expander, the parametric equalizer, and finally a separate
optical subtrim. The level is nominally set to match the passband level of the center
channel using an RTA.
Format 05
Dolby SR Optical
Short name: Dolby SR
Audio Description: Either projector’s optical inputs provides Lt/Rt inputs, and
matrix decoding produces four output channels (L, C, R, S). SR processing is applied
to Lt and Rt.
The subwoofer signal is derived in the same way as in Format 04.
D-2
®
Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
Format Definitions
Format 10
Dolby Digital Film (Cat. No. 773 required)
Short name: Dolby Digital
Audio Description: The input is from the Dolby Digital reader, which provides the
signal to the Dolby Digital decoder and creates six discrete channels (L, C, R, Ls, Rs,
SW). The optical soundtrack is processed as in Format 05 at all times, to enable rapid
reversions to analog film sound when needed.
On a reversion event, the following actions take place:
1. The subwoofer level is set back to 0 dB, relative to the center channel passband.
2. The subwoofer lowpass filter is set to 50 or 100 Hz.
3. The downward expander is turned on.
4. The sound crossfades from the digital audio to the optical to minimize the
audibility of the reversion.
On an “unreversion” event, the following actions take place:
1. The subwoofer level is set back to +10 dB, relative to the optical subwoofer level.
2. The subwoofer lowpass filter is set to 180 Hz.
3. The downward expander is turned off.
4. The sound crossfades from the optical audio to the digital, to minimize the
audibility of the unreversion.
Format 11
External 6-Channel
Audio Description: This external audio format has six discrete channels (L, C, R, Ls,
Rs, SW), is input via the six-channel analog input D-connector, and can be used when
an external digital processor is utilized. The subwoofer channel level is +10 dB
referenced to the optical, with no downward expander.
Format 13
Dolby Digital Surround EX Film (Cat. Nos. 773 and 790 required)
Short name: Surround EX
Audio Description: This format is very similar to Format 10. Digital audio is
processed normally. The Cat. No. 790 (or earlier Cat. No. 794) applies the
Surround EX matrix decoder to the unequalized Ls and Rs channels, which yields the
channels Ls, Bs (which are copied into the Bsl and Bsr channels), and Rs. The out-ofphase information is discarded. The audio for the screen channels and subwoofer is
output via the CP650’s main audio outputs, and the audio for the four surround
channels is output via the “Option card I/O” D-connector. Note that reversions occur
exactly the same as in Format 10.

S, though S is unused) and is input through the six-channel analog input. The
magnetic preamplifier units (MPUs) are external, and the Academy mag filters (if
required) are also external to the CP650. There is no derived subwoofer.
Format 22
35 mm Magnetic, 4-Channel
Short name: 4-Channel Mag
Audio Description: This format differs from Format 20 only because the mono
surround channel (S) is not muted in Format 22. This magnetic audio format has four
discrete channels (L, C, R, S) and is input through the six-channel analog input. The
MPUs are external, and the Academy mag filters (if required) are also external to the
CP650. There is no derived subwoofer.
Format 42
70 mm Dolby A-type Mag. Mono Surround
Short name: 70 mm Dolby Stereo
Audio Description: This magnetic audio format has six discrete input channels (L,
Le, C, Re, R, S) and is input through the six-channel analog input. The MPUs are
external. Four channels of A-type noise reduction are applied to the L, C, R, and S
tracks (tracks 1, 3, 5, and 6). The CP650 generates the outputs L, C, R, Ls, Rs, and
SW. The Ls and Rs outputs are copies of the “S” mono surround input track. The
subwoofer track is created by lowpass filtering the Le and Re tracks at 180 Hz and
summing them. The subwoofer level is set to +10 dB (relative to the optical
subwoofer level). The Le and Re tracks are used only to generate SW output, and do
not pass on any screen- or surround- channel audio.
Format 60
Nonsync 1
Audio Description: This external audio format has two discrete input channels (L, R)
and is input through the Nonsync 1 input connectors. L and R are passed to the L and
R outputs of the CP650. The L and R channels are also passed to the Pro Logic®
decoder with only the surround signal being utilized and sent to the surround outputs
of the CP650.

Video Pro Logic with SW Nonsync 1
Short name: Vid Pro Logic +SW
Audio Description: This external audio format has two discrete input channels (L, R)
and is input through the Nonsync 1 input connectors. The audio is processed with
Pro Logic decoding and output on all channels. The subwoofer signal is derived by
summing L + C + R (after matrix decoding). This audio is then sent to the userselectable 50 or 100 Hz subwoofer filter, and the output level is controlled by the
separate optical subtrim. As in optical formats, the level is nominally set to match the
passband level of the center channel using an RTA.
Format 80 (Cat. No. 790 or 778 required)
Bitstream Master Digital Input
Short name: Master Digital In
Audio Description: The input is a digital bitstream into the Option Card I/O
connector, AES 1 (L/R) pins. This format automatically detects whether the bitstream
is PCM or Dolby Digital (AC-3), and configures the decoder appropriately. For a
PCM (two-channel) input signal, matrix decoding may be applied using the “Format
80/81 PCM Options” screen. This screen also contains a “PCM Auto Mute” option
that causes the CP650 to mute automatically if it does not detect a Dolby Digital
bitstream. This prevents noise when working only with encoded bitstream audio. For
Dolby Digital bitstreams, the metadata contained in the bitstream specifies the
channel format and surround processing to be applied.
This format does not support more than two channels of PCM. For multichannel PCM
support, use formats 88, 89, or 90 (see below).

Format 81 (Cat. No. 790 required)
Bitstream Dolby Digital Surround EX
Short name: Fmt 80 w/Surr. EX
Audio Description: The input signal is a digital bitstream into the Option Card I/O
input. The signal is Dolby Digital (consumer) decoded, and the resultant L, C, R, and
SW signals are sent to the output. The Ls and Rs channels are sent to the Surround
EX matrix decoder to yield the channels Ls, Rs and Bs (which is copied into the Bsl
and Bsr channels). The out-of-phase information is discarded. The audio for all
channels output via the Option
Card I/O connector.
For PCM or bitstream material with fewer than two discrete surround channels, this
format is identical to Format 80.
Format 85 (Cat. Nos. 790/791 or Cat. No. 778 Required)
Bitstream PCM 8-Channel Input, 10-Channel Output
Short name: 5-Ch. Screen
Audio Description: The input signals are S/PDIF formatted bitstreams into the
Option Card I/O inputs. S/PDIF input 1 carries Left and Right Channel audio data and
is output on the Left and Right channel analog outputs. S/PDIF input 2 carries center
and Subwoofer channel audio data is output on the Center and Subwoofer channel
analog outputs. S/PDIF input 3 carries Left Surround and Right Surround channel
audio data. Left Surround audio is output on the Left Surround and Back Surround
Left analog outputs. The Right Surround audio is output on the Right Surround and
Back Surround Right analog outputs. There are two additional output channels
labeled Left Extra and Right Extra. These are input on S/PDIF input 4 and output on
the Left and Right mid-frequency analog outputs. In order to use this format, the

Bitstream PCM 8-Channel Input, 10-Channel Output
Short name: 5-Channel Screen + EX
Audio Description: The input signals are S/PDIF formatted bitstreams into the
Option Card I/O inputs. S/PDIF input 1 carries Left and Right channel audio data and
is output on the Left and Right channel analog outputs. S/PDIF input 2 carries Center
and Subwoofer channel audio data and is output to the Center and Subwoofer channel
analog outputs. S/PDIF input 3 carries Left Surround and Right Surround channel
audio data. These channels are Dolby Digital Surround EX decoded. The Left
Surround audio is output on the Left Surround analog output. Back Surround Left
audio is output on the Back Surround Left analog outputs. Right Surround audio is
output on the Right Surround analog output. Back Surround Right audio is output on
the Back Surround Right analog outputs. In this format, there are two extra channels,
labeled Left Extra and Right Extra. These two channels are input on S/PDIF input 4
and output on left and right mid-frequency analog outputs. In order to use this format,
the CP650 must first be configured for 2-Way crossover operation, and Le/Re mode
must be enabled.

External 6-Channel with Surround EX
Short name: Fmt 11 w/Surr. EX
Audio Description: This external audio format is a combination of Formats 11 and 13,
and can be used when an external digital processor is connected. Signals of six discrete
channels (L, C, R, Ls, Rs, SW) are connected to the six-channel analog input connector.
L, C, R, and SW are sent discrete to the outputs. The unequalized Ls and Rs channels
are sent to the Surround EX matrix decoder to yield the channels Ls, Bs (which are
copied into the Bsl and Bsr channels), and Rs. The out-of-phase information is
discarded. The audio for the screen channels and subwoofer is output via the CP650’s
main audio outputs, and the audio for the four surround channels is output via the
Option card I/O connector. The subwoofer channel level is +10 dB referenced to the
optical, with no downward expansion.
Format 88 (Cat. No. 790 or 778 required)
6-Channel PCM
Audio Description: This format uses six discrete input channels (L, R, C, SW, Ls,
Rs) and processes them in the following manner:
1. The master audio clock source is the L/R input (first AES pair).
2. Dolby Digital bitstream decoding is disabled.
3. Digital subwoofer EQ and level processing is applied, but no lowpass filter is
used.
4. The Ls input is duplicated on the Bsl output, and the Rs input is duplicated on the
Bsr output.
5. The surround level adjustments are similar to those for 5.1 film formats, where
Ls/Bsl together produce 82 dBC SPL, and Rs/Bsr together produce 82 dBC SPL.

7-Channel PCM
Audio Description: This format is used to input seven discrete channels: L, C, R, Ls,
Rs, Sw, and Bs, as would exist in a pre-encoded Surround EX mix. Processing is
identical to Format 88 with the following exceptions:
1. The Back Surround (Bs) input (Channel 1 of AES input 4) is copied to
Bsl and Bsr outputs.
2. No Surround EX decoding is performed.
The output levels are adjusted to produce reference 85 dB SPL in Ls and Rs, and 82
dB SPL in Bsl and Bsr. (This produces a net 85 dB SPL from the combined Back
Surround outputs.)

Appendix E
External Control of CP650
The CP650 can be controlled by devices connected to the RS-232 serial data
connector, or to the remotes connector located on the rear of the CP650.
This appendix is for use by customers who are highly qualified to modify hardware
and write software. Dolby Laboratories cannot be held liable for incidental, special,
direct, indirect, or consequential damages; or loss of use, revenue, or profit by users
attempting to interface the CP650 with other systems.
E.1
Control via RS-232 Serial Data Port
CP650 control via the serial data connector (the primary interface designed and
supported by Dolby) is available in CP650 system software version 1.2.1.1 and later.
The CP650 provides a SERIAL DATA port that supports standard 9-pin serial
connections to PC serial ports and other RS-232 devices. Although this port is
primarily used while running the Dolby® CP650 Setup software from a PC, the
software interface described below allows the serial data port to be used with a simple
ASCII character interface to set and get information regarding the current CP650
processor status.
The raw serial interface parser accepts ASCII commands as described below. Each
command consists of a simple keyword, <key>, followed by an “=” sign and the
<value> for that key. A command is terminated by an end-of-line character
combination (“\r\n”). This is the typical “end of line” combination sent by PC
terminal programs.
Current CP650 settings may be queried by substituting a question mark “?” for the
“<value>” field. The complete set of known settings may be queried by using the
special “all=?” command. See the examples below.

Query
Querying an Individual Parameter
“<key>=?” returns a “<key>=<value>” output line for that key.
Querying All Available Parameters
“all=?” results in a series of output lines representing every known key in the serial
control system.
Query Errors
If a query cannot be parsed or does not match a known parameter, “error” will be
output. External controllers must wait for the response to a query before proceeding.
Notes
1. The ASCII interface system operates at a baud rate of 9600 bps (8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, No Parity, No Flow Control) and cannot be invoked while the SERIAL
DATA port is in use by the CP650 Setup or Reader Alignment programs.
2. The interface operates in RAW serial mode. Characters are not echoed back to the
controller, and control characters are ignored.
3. Command parsing is not case sensitive.
4. Whitespace (<space>, <tab>, etc.) is ignored on input lines.
5. No error correction (CRC), sync bytes, or protocol is applied to this interface.
Customers must be aware of any stability or dropout issues with their own
hardware.
6. If a command is parsed successfully but the value is out of range (or the same as
the current setting), no error is issued and the command has no effect.

External Control of CP650
Control via Remotes Connector
CP650 control using single-wire communications via the remotes connector is
available in CP650 System software version 1.1.5 and later. To do so, it is
recommended that a Cat. No. 779 Remote Control or Cat. No. 771 Remote Fader be
used.
Dolby Laboratories occasionally receives requests to interface the CP650 to other
types of computers, for the purposes of remote control. While this was never intended
to be a feature of the remote port, it may be possible to command the CP650 to
change the fader level, select any one of the eight front-panel formats, and to toggle
the mute status.
The remote port interface consists of three wires. One provides 15 volts at low current
to power the remote units. The other two lines of the remote port are ground (0 volts)
and data. The ground line should be connected to the reference ground voltage of the
serial port on the computer. This is usually found on pin 7 of a serial 25-pin
D-connector, or pin 5 of a 9-pin D-connector.
The single data line presents the single biggest challenge of interfacing another
computer to the CP650. All industry-standard RS-232 ports have two data lines; one
to transmit, and one to receive. The CP650 data line works by placing the single data
line in a “high impedance” state while listening for transmitted data, and driving
voltages onto this line when it needs to send information. In other words, the single
data line is a “receiving” line for all devices, except when they need to send data, at
which point it is a “transmitting” line.
Thus, when the CP650 needs to communicate, or a remote accessory needs to
communicate with the CP650, it “takes control” of the single data line just long
enough to send its message. It then must place the line back in a high-impedance
state, and listen for a response.
Interfacing an external computer's serial port to the single data line can be tricky. The
actual requirement, as stated above, is for the serial port to “tri-state” its transmitter
when it is not sending.
If a one cannot engineer this type of circuit for the computer's serial port, an alternate
method can be tried, but it may damage the serial port. Pass the serial port's transmit
line through a series-connected resistor, and tie that line to both the serial port receive
line and the CP650's data line. If one is lucky, the serial port's transmitter (which does
not tri-state) can be overridden by the CP650's transmitter, and yet still function as a
transmitter when necessary (when the CP650 is in “listen” or high-impedance mode).
To do this, start with a high resistance (say, 100 kΩ), and reduce it until the
computer's serial port is able to both send and receive data. The exact value required
depends on the types of chips used in the serial port.
E-4

Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
External Control of CP650
The DDCMP Protocol
Digital Data Communications Message Protocol (DDCMP) was developed by Digital
Equipment Corporation as a serial link layer protocol.
All messages between the CP650 and the remote accessories take place within the
context of the DDCMP protocol. An important reference document, ddcmp.txt, is
published by Digital Equipment Corporation
The network is a half-duplex multipoint network. The operating mode of the remote
accessories is that of a half-duplex tributary station, with the control station being the
CP650.
The CP650 supports remote accessory device addresses 1 through 9.
The CP650 has intentionally added one nonstandard modification to the DDCMP
protocol. If the CP650 sends out the hex value “FF” twenty times in a row, all remote
accessories should recycle themselves to their power-on state. This includes resetting
themselves to the ISTRT state, and attempting to re-establish the link.
Disclaimer: An attempt has been made to implement the DDCMP protocol as
defined in the document referenced above. If there is a difference between the
reference document and the CP650 implementation, the CP650 method is defined to
be correct, and will not be modified. Dolby Laboratories reserves the right to make
changes to the remote port communication scheme or interface at any time, without
notice.
DDCMP Timers
A real timer must exist in both the ISTRT and ASTRT states, of approximately one
second, for sending STRT and STACK messages respectively.
Establishing the DDCMP Link
On power-up, the remote accessories should be in the ISTRT state. As specified in the
DDCMP document, the link to the CP650 is established by each remote accessory
sending one (or more) STRT messages until the remote accessory receives the
STACK message (indicating that the link has been established).
The delay between repeated STRT messages should be determined by each
accessory’s address (slightly different for each address) to prevent repeated
transmission collisions.
Remote Accessories-to-CP650 Message
A periodic ACK from the CP650 will pass the select flag to each remote accessory (in
turn). If no change in the state of the CP650 is required by the selected remote
accessory, the remote simply returns the select flag via an ACK message.
If the remote has been given the select flag, and it intends to change the state of the
CP650, it will send the one-byte data message.
E-5
®
Dolby Model CP650 Installation Manual
External Control of CP650
Note: All remotes must parse all messages. This requires looking at the length and
cannot be ignored.
To command the CP650 to toggle the mute setting, the data message must have a
value of zero. If the CP650 was unmuted before receiving this command, it will be in
the muted mode afterwards, and if muted before, it will be unmuted after.
The CP650 front-panel buttons can be thought of as being numbered 1 through 8
(format 01, 04, 05, 10, 11, U1, U2, and NS, respectively). To command the CP650 to
assert a format change, the data byte should be a number between 1 to 8.
To change the fader level, the data byte should be a value between 10 and 110. This
corresponds to a fader setting between 0.0 and 10. (Subtract 10 from the value of the
data byte, and then divide by 10 to obtain the resulting fader value.)
CP650-to-Remote Accessories Message
The message from the CP650 to any remote accessory will always contain two bytes
of data. The CP650 will periodically transmit this message to all registered remote
accessories to ensure that they have the proper data. This data message will also be
sent immediately whenever there is a relevant change in the state of the CP650.
The least significant seven bits of the first byte in the data packet (received from the
CP650) contains the current fader level, between 0 and 100. Divide by ten to obtain
the correct fader level.
The most significant bit of the first byte in the data packet tells the remote accessory
whether or not to blank its fader display (0 = display on, 1 = display off).
The least significant three bits of the second byte in the data packet contain the
current format of the CP650. The value will be between 1 and 8, corresponding to the
front-panel buttons as described above.
The next most significant bit tells whether the CP650 is muted (0 = not muted, 1 =
muted).
The next most significant bit tells which projector is in use (0 = projector 1, 1 =
projector 2).
The next most significant bit tells whether the current CP650 format is valid (0 =
normal, 1 = invalid format).
The next most significant bit tells whether the auditorium fader is active (0 = not
active, 1 = active).
The most significant bit of the second data byte is not used.
