Quoted from CoolCatPinball:
If anyone is interested, I played around with the picture settings on the monitor this evening. Out of the box the monitor looked washed out pretty bad to me. Turns out, the brightness was turned up to 90%!! And the color temp setting was at 6500k. No wonder it looked bad. I took brightness down to 0 (thats right zero), and changed color temp to 50/50/50 rgb, and it now looks crazy better. Much more vibrant colors and blacker blacks. Still no HD quality, but much better than out of box.

Thanks for the advice, We tried to change our RGB to 50/50/50 and it was gray, it wouldn't let us change, Any advice??

Quoted from TheGunnett:
The soundbar is not as noticeable as the external subwoofer and I’m not confident that most would find value in it. Especially if your not playing at higher volumes, it helps more with clarity of the callouts and differentiates all the pinball sounds better from the music. That taps off the 3.5mm splitter that I installed in the top right corner of the back box.
The external sub adds more depth and is instantly noticed at any volume. I just tap right onto the sub in the cab with some alligator clips. A guy sells a $10 cord if you want to make it really easy.
I’ll say this again, the stock speakers do sound great, this isn’t necessary. It’s to take the sound from a 8.5 out of 10 to a 9.5.

Very Frustrated!!! On Dec. 8th we received our GNR LE and we were thrilled, planned our whole vacation around our new purchase!! Day 1 opening our box we had issues with quality control but JJP has been amazing and has took care of all the issues. Tonight I am ready to pull out my hair, every time we think we can go and play casually and enjoy our new pin something goes wrong!! I am in need of any and all advise! Tonight we were playing and the sound muffled, definitely doesn't sound like it use to sound. It's on the left side and the volume was only turned up to 30. Maybe the Left Tweeter? Midrange Left Speaker? Something is not working and I don't have any idea where to start to see what is wrong. Definitely making it hard to play the game after hearing the amazing sound at the beginning!! Any advise?

Game Questions:

1. When we light "Advanced Band Member", Nothing happens, I would think that one of the band members would become solid but maybe I am missing something. DO you have to hit something to activate?
2. What does Band Frenzy do, We got it twice and didn't notice a scoring increase or a perk?
3. What is the best way to level your playfield?
4. Does all three drums light up or just the two? The one with the 2 cymbals doesn't light and we just want to make sure.
5. Our spotlights seem to be funny, When we run the test there are times it doesn't move, Anyone else's move weird?

The game is amazing, absolutely amazing, Just trying to fine tune everything!!

Quoted from kermit24:
I have the SACS9 hooked to it currently and love it. I also have a PSW10 I can swap in, but I feel the level adjustments are better on the Sony. With the Polk you go from no bass to too much quickly. Very small window to find the perfect adjustment. I’ve heard great things about the pinwoofer products, but for the bang for buck, the sub is probably going to be a better bet. Curious to try pinwoofer.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Just ordered the Sony SACS9 and we are just wondering if you paired it with a speaker for the top? If so what did you use?

Quoted from Pinballomatic:
Advance band member doesn’t necessarily complete a band member. It just advances them a certain amount getting them closer to completion.

That makes sense, THANK YOU!!!!

Well....We had our audio board go bad on our LE GNR and as we are waiting for the replacement we connected a Ion Pathfinder external speaker and it sounded AMAZING!!!! Absolutely AMAZING!! So we are playing our hearts out and then the machine reset right in the middle of a song. As it started to start up again we tried to reconnect the Bluetooth and no go, What is going on??

Any advice for pinballs going past the shooter lane gate and then going back down? During multiball it is the most annoying because it will go up the shooter lane and then back down while your ball saves running, I tried to adjust our shooter lane gate and I loosened each side and no go! Thanks for any advice!

Add 2 washers to each post between part 1 and part 2. Fixed it 100% for me.

THANK YOU SO MUCH but no go! I tried thinner metal washers and the clear plastic washers and it still isn't right. Do I need thicker washers or any other idea to fix the problem?

Quoted from PinMonk:
The test was done with all the flippers on jjGnR, I just made that right flipper only FL-11629 graph to illustrate the extreme temps. jjPotC is all 15411s (well, they should be according to the manual, but who knows what JJP put in there. GnR has some...interesting...assembly deviations). With trapping that Karl does, the max temp on jjPotC was even crazier peaks. But that should give you an idea about 15411 temp performance for longer sessions in JJP games.
On jjGnR the lesser-used FL-15411 for lower left and upper right maxed out at 180.2F and 181F uncooled, well beyond the fade threshold. They were 115F and 110.2F cooled, respectively.

I've been meaning to send a huge shout out to PinMonk on the Tibetan Breeze JJP Pin 3-Flipper Cooling Kit × 1 … ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING!! One of the best mods so far!! Very easy to install and makes the world of difference! We have had installed since April 30th and it has increased game play, especially no issues with back handing left ramp after multiple games, very quiet and couldn't imagine the game without. THANK YOU for all your time spend and hard work to better the game in such a huge way!!!

Quoted from PinMonk:
I've got the diverter mocked up here to test the bracket design for that. I wasn't going to do one, because it doesn't really affect a player's game performance. But, there's been a lot of interest and people PMing me for a fix since the high temps it achieves in long sessions (even with the new code) apparently makes distressing hot coil smells?
So I ordered the parts to make the coil bracket setup for it here so I can test fit a fan bracket design and make it an optional add on for those that want it. The fact that there's an extra fan connector in a 3 coil Tibetan Breeze install makes it an easy add.

So Excited!!! Sometimes the diverter coil has a burning smell and turns brown, We're in for the diverter fan!! Thanks again for all you do!!

Quoted from allsportdvd:
Pretty sure the fans only do the 3 main flippers, not the diverter coils

Correct, They are high quality fans that are a game changer for all three main flippers, But Pin Monk is working on a diverter coil and this is going to be amazing!! CAN'T WAIT!!

Quoted from PinMonk:
Glass off. Go into system menu. Go into switch test mode. Smack the playfield firmly with your hand in a few places. Note which switch triggers on the screen when you hit the PF and adjust that switch to be less sensitive. You are getting switch registration from the flipper vibration. Note that it may be more than one switch you need to adjust.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Yes mine fit great however I couldn’t tell you where I ordered them from at this point I bought them back in January when my game was delivered. I remember the tolerances being pretty tight but the holes matched up fairly well it was just a matter of sliding it underneath that pesky channel.

I would LOVE to know as well if you think of it, THANKS!

Quoted from Ecw0930:
Mine did that too but I bent the orbit a little and now it feeds to the flipper every time and has WAY more flow and is WAY more fun.
Didn't take much. Just a little adjustment and it worked great. Orbits are repeatable now and allows for the flow and game to go much better.
I recommend trying it.

Do you have pictures? How did you bend the orbit in? Thanks!!

Quoted from Pinballomatic:
Reseat the usb to usb mini cable between the motherboard and playfield controller board mounted under the playfield in the bottom left corner (assuming the playfield is flipped up). Go over all of the connections on that board paying particular attention to the mini usb cable -- with the game power off.

These are the cables I have reset and still have the error after being disconnected for thirty seconds and then plugging back in?? Is this from the update 1.25?? And what should we do from here??

Quoted from PinMonk:
Weak from the beginning of a game, or weak the longer you play?
If it's all the time, I'd check your EOS gap first. Make sure that the EOS switch isn't triggering until the flipper is right at the peak of the stroke. You can do it using the switch test with the glass off and manually swing the flipper through its motion. You shouldn't see the EOS trigger until the flipper arrives at the end of its stroke. If it's happening earlier, adjust the switch.

Weak from the beginning of the game, I will check the EOS switch, As always thanks so much!!
