.....at AS mode.
I use it at night but have noticed that the automatic switching off mode does not work. The Procyon just display's 'off'.
Please can someone, possibly the kind Andy, let me know what causes this.
Thank you.

Thank you.
If the display is showing AS_ (with the underscore) it is in a mode where it will not switch off.
Press the Start/Stop button until the display shows AS (without the underscore) and it will switch off automatically after 80 minutes.
(Page 14 of the Procyon manual)
Let me know if that fixes the problem.
Hi Andy.
Please excuse me for replying to you after this long time.
I forgot to mention in my last post. I do actually undo the underscore and the problem still exist.
Another problem that persists, is the volume. I can't seem to figure how to set the Procyon to a tone suitable to my hears without it affecting the lights of the Gazframes. When I turn down my iPod, it just dimmers the Gazframes. But when I try doing this with the Procyon, it just dimmers the lights too. Your help would be as always appreciated Andy.
Best Regards
Are you using the Procyon with batteries or USB? When powered by USB the Procyon does not auto-off.
When in AS mode, the volume adjustment on the Procyon console sets the sensitivity of the AS decoder. It does not affect the volume of the audio you hear coming in from the Aux jack. So try setting the volume to a comfortable level on your iPod when connected to the Procyon with your headphones connected to the headphone jack on the Procyon, and then adjust the volume control on the Procyon until you get the proper response from the AS decoder. i.e. the lights are flashing as you want them to. Don't forget that the Procyon has an Analog and Digital AS mode, one may work better for you than the other.
For reference, check out the Procyon Key Functions pdf here.
Thanks for this Andy, I'll let you know of any progress.
Thanks so much once again, ;)
Hi Andy. I should have mentioned that I did all of the above from the very start: volume control. Still the Procyon's volume still can't be controlled. My headphone and Ganzefame jack are both inserted in the Procyon plus the jack connection is from my iPod to the Procyon. Still, when I dim the volume control on my iPod, the lights on the Ganzeframe dimmers but the Procyon's volume (which would be on full) just dims as I turn it down. Just can't seem to get a decent medium with sound not affecting the lights of the Ganzframes!!!
Still, my auto switch-off does not work in AS mode: it still continuously blinks 'off' but does not switch off automatically. I also noticed last night the automatic switch off in AS mode now blinks 'off' after just 60 mins of play.
Hope this makes some sense.
Thanks for all your time you've given me Andy.
You must have very sensitive headphones!
There's an external audio adjustment shown in the manual, but I can't recall if it functions while in the AS mode.
Give it a try.
Press the bottom button on the Procyon while in AS mode and if that function works in that mode, the display should show Ax where x is a number from 0 to 8. 0 is external audio off, while 8 is max external audio volume.
Let us know if that helps.
By the way, did you get the auto-off situation sorted out?
Hey Andy,
Just thought I'd let you know that the auto-off appears to be faulty. Having observed the function whilst in AS mode; when playing the Brain Machine Audiostrobe cd tracks, both being 31:06 & 29:41 seconds, my Procyon appears to blink 'off' after 25 mins sparodically. I have tried this in both digital and analogue modes (bottom button).
I purchased my machine from Mindplace via Amazon, but I can't seem to contact them through Amazon.
May have to just order another one!
You can use the Contact Us link at the bottom of any page here on the forum or MindPlace on Amazon contact page is here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/details...#aag_legalInfo
Definitely get in touch with me and we'll get this sorted out. Sorry for the trouble!
Thanks very much Craig.
Much appreciated.
Hi Andy, Not at all. I appreciate all your help.Quote:

Change of direction: think I'll stick with here first and contact the MindPlace technical dept ment first.
Kind Regards
Hi, BunnyhahaCheeks-- The reason that reducing the volume level also reduces the light brightness is that the AudioStrobe signals are part of the audio recording--so its 'volume' drops when you lower the volume. Have you tried less sensitive headphones, like larger, studio-style phones? That might help. Also, thanks for contacting us here on the Forums--all Amazon can do is accept a return and give you a refund, while we can actually help debug any issues as Andy and Neuroasis have been doing.
Your Procyon should not be showing intermittent 'off' messages during AS playback so we may need to swap out your console, but one last question... does it do this with a fresh set of alkaline batteries?
Sounds good. Got your e-mail and replied with some questions. We'll get it sorted out for you.Quote:
