HELP - Dolby A unit: 361 + CAT 22

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Dear friends

I am desperately looking for a users manual (info/download ) for the above
mentioned unit.

Got this used item with 7 days warranty/return, but I am not sure how to
checkout
the condition/workflow without a manual.

Maybe a kind soul can give me a short form description, just to make sure
the unit is working fine.

It was a minute decision, you know, sometimes fingers are faster than the
brain, paid a fortune,
but my beloved old 807 MkII cried for it ...

Best regards

Gary G.

Call Dolby in the UK. They will send you a manual, and they also should
be able to to a rebuild on the unit.

If it hasn't been totally rebuilt and realigned in the past few years,
it won't be working fine. These things need a lot of care and attention
and they are packed to the gills with tantalum capacitors. If you buy
any of them, expect to spend some time getting them up to speed.
