Author Topic: Production ending on DTS-6AD Mike B. Smith Film Handler Posts: 82 From: Universal City Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-03-2005 04:12 PM                     DTS recently announced the following: This spring DTS successfully completed the launch of the XD10P into the market place. The combination of the XD10 and XD10P has proven to be an excellent match offering cinemas a cost-effective, complete end-to-end 8-channel system that provides flexibility for future generations of hardware. Due to the limited availability of components necessary to produce the 6D, 6AD and ECP, effective December 31, 2005, DTS will no longer market these units. DTS will continue to service and support these units and spare parts will continue to be available. Please note that the supply of these units is limited and sales may cease prior to December 31st, 2005.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

The last batch of replacement drives I recieved are CDRW drives  |  IP: Logged Mike B. Smith Film Handler Posts: 82 From: Universal City Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-04-2005 04:42 PM                     DTS has begun using IDE Drives with a SCSI interface for the DTS-6, 6D, and 6AD drive kits. These drives and interfaces have been working out quite well and can be mixed with existing drives. Single drive kit replacements are also available. DTS continues to research and test different drives to always have something available.  |  IP: Logged
