Author Topic: Dolby CP 200 with DA 20 and DTS 6D William T. Parr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 823 From: Cedar Park, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-18-2004 11:26 AM                     We are fixing to get swap out the Dolby CP65 at the Paramount with a Dolby CP200 to be used in conjunction with a Dolby DA 20 and DTS 6D. I have all the cables from DTS, but is there anything special I need from Dolby to make the DA 20 work with the processor? Reason I ask is I noticed on my CP200 at the Highland there is a small breakout board attached to the Right side of the Control Unit that has 5 screw terminals in it that appears to contral part of the automation and I am not sure if I need it or not. Will photograph it when I arrive for work later today.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-18-2004 12:52 PM                    Check in the manuals section for the DA20 instalation manual. It has a section in there related to hooking up the DA20 to the CP200 on page 2.5.3 of the actual manual and page 51 of the PDF file. This may help some in figuring it out. You may need something special for the DTS I am not sure on that one and You may find more answers in the CP200 manual as far as automations and such.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-18-2004 07:21 PM                     I've done this before by using a DTS adaptor plate form Odyssey Products..... this DTS was in a roll around situation though. With the DA-20 permanently installed aong with the 200 the DA-20 handled all default audio switching. When the DTS was being used it handled all default switching. I would guess you'd have to do it something along these lines or there may be other ways to do this that I've not attempted before.....Hello Mr Guttag??????
