Author Topic: DTS 6AD fault in SR Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 07-10-2005 11:27 AM                        It all started when I tryed to upgrade the software on this 6AD dts. The unit would not read the disc. Was told to replace the 740 board , I received a new one installed it ran the software upgrade and all was well. Sound is fine on Nonsync , SR and DTS but after unit has been operating for about 5 minutes sound in SR starts to stutter and break down. I have tryed the board in another dts unit and the result is the same. Would this be a faulty board or a sofware issue ?

I would try to reload it, if still same, you could have a bad board.... Also be sure to check the DTS reader voltage for 4-volts, this does not have any effect on SR, but will assure the reader is working properly to read timecode....  |  IP: Logged Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 07-12-2005 11:07 AM                        Yes Don using the 2.06 upgrade disc. have loaded it several times but sound in SR still keeps breaking up . I would have thought the reader would only effect Digital sound  |  IP: Logged Mike B.

I thought it funny that the old board works fine in SR but the new board does not , with the same software. and I would have thought that is it was software problems the fault would be present from the moment it was turned on not 5 minutes after , sounds like a dry joint to me .  |  IP: Logged
