Hi, I just got A Gs-1200 a few days ago, and what happen was,
I was playing a sound mag film and after about 5 mins POP and smoke (from inside projector), Don't know what happened, everything still works fine but, the sound is now very low. When I do change it from Opt. to Mag. the sound is fine for about 2 seconds, then gets real low. Does anyone know what might have happen ? or how to fix ? The opt. sound is low also, I am in Southern, Ca so if anyone know where to get it fixed let me know, The projector is almost mint.
Thank You Luke Hopkinson

Hi Luke,

A pop and smoke sound like some big electrolytic capacitor has failed. The question after that is what else has it also taken with it.

(They can really STINK!)

Maybe if you look inside and see some large aluminum can that seems to have a leak, we'll know where to start.

Denevi Digital is located in California do a google search had mine fixed by Leon Norris in PA probably cost ya 50.00 or more just to ship it up there. The sound went out completely on mine.
