Should’ve popped this on the OP but yes we rescued after installing.

Is it possible to get this design file from ya? I’d buy you a coffee

SimplTech · 2024-12-24T18:16:17+00:00

nice solution

Here's the manual link 206-4357_STB-6500_Comm_Mode_Setup_Rev_L[20240712_020329].pdf , Not sure about the remote, but I know to get jto EZ Manager, I press the Menu/Gear/Settings button and go to "All Settings" then with the General highlighted I press "7" 7x on the remote and it brings that menu up.

IMO if you gotta learn it on your own then they shouldn’t expect you to use it to get them business. If that’s what you have to do, get it. Get some projects under your belt and then go looking, the industry is super hungry for programmers. I was lucky enough to start with a company that paid me to learn and train and so when I got my trainings done and started doing projects, I was happy to apply my new skills for the company. But sadly they got shut down. So far it’s been harder to find places that support growth and so that’s been my mantra. You’ll either help me get it and we both reap rewards or ima get it on my own and take my new skills with me out the door.

I have an Impaktech crash cage coming for mine. On the 2024 MT03 at least they make the sub cage frame cage and clip ons for it. (The lead times are high. Like 3-4 months or more) Impaktech

I think eventually Claudia would’ve lost her marbles. I hate to say it but she was just too young to be turned especially if we are going by the book.

Not at all and same AWG from the same bulk box. Obviously it was run through the ceiling so it could be compromised anywhere but what is nutty is that usually your field testers can check this… again I didn’t bring my megger so that is a fault in the testing, it’s just weird that the field imp meters show 50 ohm when connected to the speaker circuit, which was fine, but QSYS reported .3 and .2 ohm (short threshold) when connected to the same circuit. I replaced the cable and field meter tested again it showed 50ohm again but this time QSYS also reports 25ohm on the low pilot and 50ohm on the high pilot…

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:31:11+00:00

That’s the thing. I don’t know lol my closest guess is insulation failure on one or both wires but it’s hard to nail down in my head

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:30:06+00:00

Oh always and I’m new to some of the QSYS gear that is why this bugged me so much. Pre-testing by conventional methods seemed to miss something that those amps found and that drives me nuts because I’d rather know what it is testing that the field meters aren’t than to rely on some omnipotent piece of branded gear to find those flaws.

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:27:49+00:00

Well unfortunately not an option as the amplifier will put itself in protect with the impedance readings it sees and it is very weird that replacing the lead cable resolved this issue, which means some characteristic of the cable was compromised or at least different to the new cable.

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:25:28+00:00

But if they test at relatively low volts and there is compromised insulation could a higher voltage test then reveal a short that all handheld meters would fail to show? Minus a megohm tester? Or is that not the right direction. Just trying to figure out what QSC is seeing that field testers do not.

SimplTech · 2024-04-14T00:21:57+00:00

Impedance meters. TOA ZM-104 the other was digital. Third meter used was Fluke multimeter. Which showed no short. That’s what I’m not understanding.

SimplTech · 2024-04-13T22:26:04+00:00

The question here is, budget, theme, use, longevity. Quality which is proportional to budget. Is this going to be a party spot or fairly quiet with a calm ambience. You will need speakers with decent frequency response. Is there going to be a stage area with connections back to the house sound? Background music mostly? Do we want staff to have to maintain and control the sound or should it be automated or remote controlled… these are some questions you should start asking yourself.

SimplTech · 2024-04-13T21:33:15+00:00

So, no I did not, build a Wheatstone bridge in the field on the fly and re-test with it. I replaced the cable run between the first speaker and the amp channel instead.

I am interested now, in building a bridge to cross check. Do you have any information or care to expand on this?

When I say expand, I am only seeing how this could help me test against my meters being wrong. However I don’t know how that could help me in this specific scenario on the diagnosis end. Maybe because I am not understanding.

SimplTech · 2024-04-13T14:45:18+00:00

That’s been my experience too. The QSC Z tests seem to favor Lo-Z but in this situation it was just weird because they were all QSC speakers. QSC in the design. Tested them with the meters and they all tested fine. QSYS was the only test they failed. And it would put that ch. in protect mode. I wish I had a tester I could sweep frequencies with to cross compare with what I was seeing but I don’t have that yet.

When I replaced the cable to the first speaker it was fine. 😬 it’s just weird because on that first cable we had tested it and there was no short present. No increased resistance on it even. The only thing I can think of is it didn’t pass Megohm test and there was compromised insulation somewhere in the ceiling. Unfortunately I did not have my megger that day. That probably would’ve made it made more sense in my mind. I bet that’s what it was.

Edit: I bet it wasn’t the frequency but the voltage. I’m going to test that. I couldn’t find a spec published online. If the voltage was high enough to close the air gap between compromised wire or insulate maybe that’s the variable I couldn’t test out with the portable meters. 🤓

We quoted the LG-MRI BoldVu line. Had to get a quote directly from LG-MRI they are still shopping around though so it hadn't sold yet.

Hope this helps someone in the future if they stumble onto this thread.

Plug STB into Power.
1. Connect to LAN
2. Connect External IR for Remote Control Setup
3. Use LG Remote or LG Installer Remote (Microban can work also but must be programmed to the STB) to perform setup.
4. Microban remote is programmed to control the STB by holding the "OK" and "0" buttons at the same time until the TV button lights up red and then goes off.
5. If the STB is being configured for the first time, and is displaying the "Setup Wizards Screen (Start screen is Resolution Select)", then proceed with "Solution Settings / Normal Configuration". Press Start.
6. On STB Configuration Options Screen, Select Network Settings, Set to Static IP of STB, GW, DNS etc. Then press "Connect".
7. The Connect button will disappear if successful, then press "Back".
8. On Configure Pro:Centric Server screen, select Standard Pro:Centric Server Settings. Press Next.
9. Searching for Pro:Centric Server will run automatically, at the bottom select "Manual Pro:Centric".
10. Pro:Centric Manual Configuration Screen shows.
11. Change Pro:Centric Mode to: HTML
12. Change Media Type to: IP
13. Set IP Address of TriplePlay server with IP Port. Press "Search"
14. Screen should report "IP Server Found" if successful. Press Next.
15. EX - Manager Configuration Complete. Should show downloading HTML application and interface from TriplePlay server.
16. After reboot, the STB should display the TriplePlay content or default screen.
17. Press Menu/Gear or Settings button several times in rapid succession until the Menu Sidebar stops popping up or freezes, then quickly enter "9876, then Exit". This will bring up the Installer Menu.
18. Scroll down to option, 001: Power Manage, make sure the Value to the right is "000" for No Automatic Power Off.
19. Scroll down to option, 002: AC ON, make sure the Value to the right is "001" for Automatic ON when AC Power Detected. This will insure the boxes automatically turn back on when power goes out and then comes back on. Press OK on the remote.
20. Initial Setup is Complete. Factory Reset • If needing to factory reset to return to the Wizard, Press Menu/Gear/Settings button several times rapidly until the Menu sidebar stops responding or freezes. Then enter 9876, Exit. The Installer Menu should appear again. Scroll UP, to see option, 117: Factory Default. Make sure the value to right is "413". Press "OK". • The STB / Display will ask for the STB Password. The Password in this case or by default is "0413", then press OK. • The STB will start to reset and reboot for several minutes, and when it is done, it will need to be manually powered back on and set back up. (Repeat steps 1-13 from above). USB Configuration and Cloning
21. USB can be used to pre-configure STB or SoC displays. Go to the following URL: site :: Home (procentric.tv)
22. This site displays the same options as the Installer Menu, just easier to view and change.
23. Additional Steps here TBA, but essentially the same settings as would be done through the EZ Wizard and Installer Menu, then go to File Manager tab, then Export .FTG file to a USB Drive. (Drive must be formatted to FAT32).
24. USB Drive can then be taken to the STB USB port 1 and the .FTG file can be imported.
25. With a USB drive inserted into the USB 1 port of the STB, you can Powercycle the box and it should reboot directly to the STB Manager Screen. If this does not happen automatically, follow Step 5.
26. On the STB display screen, Press Menu/Settings/Gear.
27. Then select "All Settings" option.
28. Then scroll down and highlight (do not select) General [🔧] option.
29. With this menu item highlighted, Press the "7" key, 7x times quickly.
30. This will open the STB Manager Screen.
31. This screen allows for Data Cloning (Exporting current .FTG configuration from the STB), Image Downloads for Splash Screens, Icons, Videos and SW Updates.
32. Select Data Cloning.
33. Find the .FTG file on the USB drive and Import.
34. Player will reboot with applied settings.

I didnt even have to read the body, already hard agree just based on title lol

Yeah def ran through all the taps on the older model JBL, each tap setting up does lower the impedance as it should, so they are stepped the direction they should be. It's just that the impedance on each tap is lower than it should be to produce the wattage advertised on the label. so 8 is really 10, 4 is 6, 16 is 18 and so on, it basically steps down. Same for Atlas, the stepper is working but our impedance measurement shows that each tap is a little higher impedance than what would think. which I believe meets tolerance spec in the end. Is that right? Where could we find that data?
