DTS also told me thata if enough cinemas requested it they could also supply 8 track dtS disks for the XD-10. This is somewhat doubtful to happen though as there is a lack of 8 chan. processors in the foeld to route the XD-10 through.

The setup software says yes but I don't know if it really already works since our 8ch screen has SDDS. If all sold CP650 can support 8 channel just upgrading it the 8ch setup is not so much expensive ("just" speakers and amps). Bye A  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

DA converters are not an expensive piece of equipment, isn't it? However the main problem, since actually Dolby does not support 8ch dolby digital track, have the cp650 8ch analog inputs? Or can I connect the XD10 via cp's digital input? Bye A  |  IP: Logged
