Author Topic: DTS DISPLAY CONTRAST Phil Blake Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 558 From: esperance western australia Registered: Nov 2003 posted 09-20-2005 05:19 AM                        Has anyone has problems with the front panel display on a DTS 6AD ? I have jus replaced the 740 board in one and now the display is acting up. It is fine when first booted up , but after about 10 minutes the contrast creeps up making the screen so bright it cannot be read. The manual does not explain anything about front display adjustment , do these units have a display contrast adjustment ?  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-21-2005 12:57 AM                     Head to page 2.6 and there should be a notice about the trimpot on the side of the display cover where a "tweeker" screwdriver to adjust the display. -Monte  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

So long as you never play anything in analog the 6AD isn't that bad. For anyone who disagrees, I've got a trash can you can borrow.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-21-2005 08:26 AM                     We have installed quiet a few of them and they have turned out to be a decent unit in digital and the A type analogue is ok the SR emulation is on the border line though  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 09-21-2005 05:47 PM                     I'm with Gordon, to a point. We had some of the eraly models, lots of problems and many mods from DTS, they perform perfectly well in DTS, but SR is cack.  |  IP: Logged
