Hi group,

the studio I'm working for has a AEG-M15A 2" synced via the Adam&Smith
System 2600 . Recently, if we want to cue to a specific TC, the
machine locates the cue-point correctly, only to fast-forward to some
2 min later in TC direcly afterwards.
This strange behaviour goes away after some time.
At the moment, we just don't power off the A&S, but this bug is still
very annoying. Any ideas to solve this?

TIA, Sebastian


have you recently changed tape speed or time code frame rate?
If you do, you have some parameters to change on the appropriate SY
module for that machine. (mmmm, programming in Hex code with MSB/LSB)

this sounds possibly like a tach pulse counting issue. The reason it
goes away after a while is because it is learning the ballistics of the
machine and adjusts. Do you know what level software is in the SY unit?
Once the unit is set up, it is very bulletproof, but requires parameter
adjustments if you make changes to the tape machine like speed or frame
rates.

it's been years but I used to fly a big 2600 system and still have it in
boxes with the manuals and cables. Need any spares ?
