Re: Marantz SR7015

 

I just confirmed that the PSDYNEQ is ON, at the site where I first found the issue...:(? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? PSDYNVOL is OFF.
Thanks, Zac for figuring this out...This explains why this behavior popped up out of nowhere...
I have Marantz looking into this as it feels like a 'bug' - i.e. MVMAX should not change with Inc/Dec of volume, even with DynEQ on. Max volume value should be the same no matter what its doing...

The module that I've been using,?Denon AVR-3313CI, has been rock solid until this project. It uses MVMAX to govern the volume FB but with D-EQ On it is all over the map...seems like its kind of messed up.
I'm not sure that the following parsing routine is 'great', but it's what has worked for a long time...Clearly DynEQ was not enabled (or not messed up with a DM Firmware??) on any previous projects...

Here's the parsing routine from the S+ module:
if(find("MVMAX", sResponse) = 1) // master volume max
? ? {
? ? ? ? iMVMAX = atoi(sResponse);
? ? ? ? if(len(sResponse) = 9) // value has 2 char (90 vs 895)?
? ? ? ? ? ? iMVMAX = iMVMAX * 10; // append "0" to value (900)
? ? }
? ? else if(find("MV", sResponse) = 1) // master volume
? ? {
? ? ? ? iValue = atoi(sResponse);
? ? ? ? if(len(sResponse) = 5) // value has 2 char (90 vs 895)
? ? ? ? ? ? iValue = iValue * 10; // append "0" to value (900)
? ? ? ? if(iValue >= 800) // 0 to 18 dB
? ? ? ? ? ? makestring(Main_Volume_Text, "%+d.%ddB", (iValue - 800) / 10, (iValue - 800) mod 10);
? ? ? ? else if(iValue >= 5) // -79.5 to -0.5 dB
? ? ? ? ? ? makestring(Main_Volume_Text, "-%d.%ddB", (800 - iValue) / 10, (800 - iValue) mod 10);
? ? ? ? else // ---
? ? ? ? ? ? makestring(Main_Volume_Text, "---.-dB");
? ? ? ? Main_Volume_Gauge = (iValue * 65535) / iMVMAX;


Re: Marantz SR7015

 

My workaround will be to keep DEQ on, and treat MVMAX as constant (there is a calculation inside the S+ module based on MVMAX).

Others may chose otherwise.?


Re: DMP Security

 

Hi All
I have a request for integration with a DMP XR150. The history with DMP is horrible, so just seeing if for some reason, they have started to play nice. I'm assuming not but wanted to check in...
TIA!


Re: DMPS3-300-C

In other series 3 processor that I have encounter with bad SD cards, the symptom have been very long boot times or failure to boot completely.? In another case, the program occasionally gets erased particularly after a power failure

Before I would go off and replace the SD card, I would try the following:

1) Replaced the power supply.? Even though the power LED will light up, it doesn't mean the power supply is good.? I've seen a number of cases where this will correct a misbehaving processor.

2) Check the voltage of the internal back up battery.? I found that if I remove the CRxxxx battery in my CP3 without power, the first boot afterwards took a very very long time and a number of settings got erased.? A general rule of thumb is if the CRxxxx battery is less than 3.0VDC, it should be replaced.

3) If you can get the processor to boot enough to a open a console window, try doing an initialize/restore.? In many cases that will get the SD card working -- at least temporarily.

For client units, I generally send them to Crestron for repair? or next time I will try to get a new SD card from Crestron.? For units I own, I generally copy the image over to a new SD card.? Best to get a high endurance flash card although they can be hard to come by and they need to be the right type.? There are some reports that if you call Crestron, you can have them send you a new SD card -- that would be the easiest way to do it.

Re: internal clock battery

I haven¡¯t taken apart a RMC3 (that I remember¡­ typing that I may have stuck the PCB for one in an oven once but my memory on that adventure is not crystal clear) but every other processor I¡¯ve peered inside of has a CR2032 or similar.

Without an NTP reference the drift can be substantial even with a battery.

Do RMC3s, CP3s, etc. and 4-series have a battery for keeping internal clock?


Re: Marantz SR7015

 

Well if its that then you should be able to work around it or even turn it off if it gets turned on. I see theres commands for it in the protocol:
Dynamic EQ = ON
Dynamic EQ = OFF
Request Dynamic EQ Status
DYNEQ ON
DYNEQ OFF
DYNEQ ?


Re: Marantz SR7015

 

It is the Dynamic EQ (PSDYNEQ ?/ON/OFF) - if ON, the MVMAX dynamically adjust with volume level - the higher the volume, the higher the MVMAX goes, up to the set limit.

With Dynamic EQ off - MVMAX is always at whatever is set as the limit in the settings.

?

Dynamic EQ is basically advances "Loudness". It does improve experience at low levels.


Re: internal clock battery

 

I cannot speak for all Crestron products, but at least my CP3 has a CR2320 3V Lithium coin battery in it.? As a side note, I don't every recall a Crestron processor losing time completely it doesn't have power.? But without an Ethernet connection or ntp disable, the clock will eventually drift off time.

That's interesting! I hadn't thought of that...


Re: Marantz SR7015

 

3 series but this has nothing to do with the processor. I am monitoring the AVR with putty. The good news is it is at home, so I should be able to figure out what's going on.

It may be related do dynamic EQ/Dynamic volume/Audessy calibration etc.


DMPS3-300-C

 

Folks? -?
I have a DMPS3-300-C that is way out of warranty and it has gone sideways. I suspect the SD Card Image is bad. How would one go about getting the image?

Re: Marantz SR7015

Yes, this kind of behavior was what I experienced and was the catalyst for the thread a couple months ago!!
Are you using a 4-series processor?

In my case the project started with a 3-series (waiting for the CP4) and all was good, like it has always been with the DM Avrs... we changed to the CP4 with the (then) latest FW, cp4_2.8000.00010.01.puf.
I didn't have time to deal with it so I went to 'fake' feedback...? ?
My thinking is that this could possibly be on the Marantz side, but it's weird.

I'd love to see some understandong of the root of this and know the Proc and FW that you see this behavior with...
TIA!


Re: Marantz SR7015

 

I think I have discovered an issue with the MVMAX. It seems to change on it's own, based on signal source type. Notice below Putty exchange:

?

MV? //volume poll after power on

MV48
MVMAX 80 //as expected, that is the 0db set in settings
MV14? //Crestron direct volume set
MVMAX 80 // good
MSDOLBY AUDIO-DD? // I started DolbyDigital source (cable TV)
PSDRC OFF
SSINFAISSIG 03
SSINFAISFSV 48K
PSLFE 00
PSBAS 50
PSTRE 50
PSTONE CTRL OFF
MV?

MV14
MVMAX 695 // Ah?

MV?

MV14
MVMAX 695 //WTF?



MV695 //I am setting volume to alleged new max
MVMAX 80 // Seriously?
MVUP

MV70
MVMAX 80

?

I will keep digging.


Re: Write file to FTP server

 

You can use the console symbol along with the command fput.

This is the command format:
FPUTfile [url] [local_path] {username:password} {proxy}
? ? url - fully qualified URL to the file being uploaded to the server
? ? local_path - path to the source file in the ROM
? ? username:password - optional access credentials to the server
? ? proxy - optional proxy in the form of url
?
Some added information:
FPUT and FGET can handle FTP, SFTP, SCP, and HTTP(S)
path is: ftp://servername/foldername/filename or http(s)://servername/foldername/filename
?
A complete command might look like:
fput ftp://192.168.0.110/PublicComments.txt \rm\group1\public\2017-12-04\PublicComments.txt "username:userpass"

Re: Lightech LET 75-24-R

 

It would *appear* that this unit is an electronic transformer. have you tried hard-setting the 2DIMU8 to ELV for that load instead of using the adaptive mode?


Lightech LET 75-24-R

 

So, I have a lighting system with these drivers and they dim like crap.? 2DIMU8 as well as a DELVEX.? This unit is 24VAC output.? Does anyone know of a replacement with 0-10V control?


Re: Tsw 750 loosing touch #tsw

 

no I have not but we sent some back to crestron and they said needed to replace screen
these Tsw's were in questionable locations(almost outdoors) near the Ocean, But now seeing it in environmentaly controlled location
