Don't do it.(wouldn't work anyway) Best advice is to get a DTS trailer disc for your third drive. Call DTS and request 'em. Usally have just about all the current trailers on them.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Boisson Expert Film Handler Posts: 157 From: Buffalo, NY, USA Registered: Oct 2001 posted 12-07-2001 09:24 PM                     yea, i didn't really think it would work. i'm gonna ask our head projectionist about hooking up a discman to it, and replace his tape player. ------------------ 3% Body Fat. 1% Brain Activity.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Do not confuse the consumer software with the cinema discs = they are not the same and cannot be interchanged. Karen at DTS  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
