| Subject: | XDP4K - Getting a "300 Error" when trying to access CNW |
Editor via Laptop???
Hello,
I needed to re-configure/re-align my system, so I hooked up my laptop to my
XDP-4000x. It has been over 3 years since I had to do this. It initially
worked fine - I just did a few quick tweaks to the X-Over with the DSC
software. Then, I went back last week, and I was ready to fine tune my
system with my RTA ready to go. Now, when I try to open the DSC "CNW"
editor (for X-Over and Delays), I get some kind of "300" error on the
laptop, and the DSC application closes out when I click "OK" on the pop-up
box. I can not seem to access any of the XDP's CNW features via the
Laptop. The XDP's CNW Preset Memory is still entact (or else I'd have a
paperweight on my hands - arrrrgh!).
I can access the EQ just fine (adjusting and saving/uploading the EQ works
perfectly via the DSC software)! What is going on??? I also tried another
laptop, and I get the same error (only for CNW)? I also tried to completely
power down the C90/XDP (Removed +12v for a few minutes), and I still
experienced the same error on both laptops...
Could this be a Null-Modem Cable issue? I kind of doubt it as I doubt the
CNW editor uses different Serial wires than the EQ editor uses, ya know?
And the fact that this same thing happens on 2 Laptops is odd.
I'd hate to say it, but this might be the final straw for my dear
C90/XDP-4000x. I am inches away from doing a Car-PC (Waiting for the new
Panda CT650 LCD Monitor to come out this summer), but I'd really like to get
my XDP's x-over and delays tweaked NOW for my new installation :-( . I also
wanted to use the XDP4K in my other ride (4-Runner 4x4) once I get a Car-PC
in this ride (Tacoma 4x4). That dream may soon be put to rest...
Thanks for any help from a stuck XDP user.
PS - I was also the guy having iPod issues with my C90/XDP. I junked the
crappy PAC "Aux-In Unilink Adaptor" that was locking up my system in favor
of a Sony XA-300. I still get some weird issues with the motorized face
changing angles on its own, but I no longer have the "Freezing" issue on
power-up (thank GOD!!! That was very annoying).

Are you using a _real_ comm port or a USB-RS232 adapter?
I'd try the opposite of what you're using.
Also, I'd try running DSC in Windows SAFE mode and see if it has any impact on
the issue. I can't say for sure that DSC will actually run in Safe mode, but
its worth a try.
I would also try running DSC in Windows 95 Compatibility mode. You right click
on the dsc.exe file and select properties and look for the compatibility tab.
A an aside, the 4000x uses different data transfer techniques for the EQ vs. the
Xover. The EQ uses small little data data packets, whereas the Xover uses these
huge packets that contain the whole XOver profile at once. Not that this
has any thing specifically to do with the issue, but it is a significant difference
between the EQ updates and Xover updates.
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

CNW Editor via Laptop???
Thanks for the suggestions, Matt. One of the laptops was using a
USB-to-Serial adaptor (Running XP), and one of the laptops was using a
"real" Serial Port (Running Win98). Tried Compatibility Mode on the XP
Machine, no difference. The older laptop with the Serial Port is the
same Laptop I used to setup my XDP system 3-4 years ago, and I have not used
that particular laptop for anything else since then (it was a $100 P.O.S.
laptop I bought just for programming the XDP!).
The funny thing is the XP Laptop with the USB-to-Serial adaptor worked
initially (I was able to edit my X-Over the first time I hooked it up). I
didn't get any errors until the second time I went to interface the Laptop!
Then neither Laptop woud work...
Do you think there is a small chance my Null Modem Cable might be bad?
Maybe just passing enough data to allow EQ edits, but not CNW edits w/o
errors? Do you still have a link to who sells the Serial Null-Modem cables
compatible with the XDP? Any other suggestions?
Thanks again

CNW Edit
It seems you've ruled the computer out as being the culprit, after using two very
different systems while making the connection.
I would start with swapping out the null modem cable, hopefully the problem is
as simple (and as cheap) as that. You might also want to try a different version
of the Sony DSC software.
Otherwise I can see no other solution than sending the 4000x in for repair... Best
of luck!

CNW Edit
Thanks for the inspiration/hope, Bobby :-)
Do you know of any places that sell Null Modem cables off the top of your
head? I'll do some searching in a moment. Was there anything specific
(besides the "Null Modem" wiring aspect) that I need to verify for XDP
Useage?
Thanks again
