Author Topic: DTS6AD does not read some discs Ian Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 317 From: Nambucca Heads, Australia Registered: Jun 2003 posted 07-11-2007 04:34 AM                     Hi I've got a DTS6AD that will not read the discs for "Knocked Up". These discs are unusually thicker than other DTS discs I have at the moment.The 6AD is reading other discs OK.My XD-10's read the "Knocked Up" discs fine. Are there any drive upgrades for the 6AD?.....I will also check if I have the latest REV level. Any suggestions? I had to edit this:the 6AD is not reading Harry Potter discs also.....but apparently is reading the discs for Bridge to Terabythia.TCR light is on solid no matter what discs are being used.

It's not on the Harry Potter discs and I can't play them I have tried several others we have to no avail.... Does anyone know of an ISO download for the upgrade?  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-11-2007 05:52 PM                        Is this the iso? Referenced in page 3 of this thread (the download is huge).  |  IP: Logged Ian Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 317 From: Nambucca Heads, Australia Registered: Jun 2003 posted 07-12-2007 02:28 AM                     Thanks guys...I must have missed that somehow or did not get any info with the prints. Matt the software was on 2 prints back in February apparently. I've tracked down a copy of the software which I should have in a couple of days.If I can burn a copy of it I could send it to you. Not sure if DTS discs are "burnable?"

Our disks included the instruction sheet.  |  IP: Logged Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 07-13-2007 05:39 PM                        Potter has it???? I tried the upgrade process with the potter discs and it said 'no system disc' I think I also tried Nancy Drew .... I'll try it again today. BTW, none of our prints/discs have had notes in them to warn us about this .... nice going again DTS!  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-13-2007 06:20 PM                     matt said "BTW, none of our prints/discs have had notes in them to warn us about this .... nice going again DTS!" what goes in the cans is a responsibility of the distributor and I don't think DTS has any control over that Also this has been widely circulated in the industry  |  IP: Logged Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 07-13-2007 06:35 PM                        Does the distributor actually put the discs in the dvd style cases they come in? ...... I would have thought they came from DTS like that.... .... and I am just a lowly self-taught tech in an independent cinema...... not a film god like yourself Gordon..... Apparently I am not worthy enough to be made aware of 'industry' information. One would assume that something as important as being able to play digital sound with a major release like Harry Potter would warrant sending information to ALL cinemas.... like say, with the MOVIE..... Or are we expected to be ever vigilant... scour the forums daily .... and contact DTS every week just in case there MIGHT be an upgrade? oh .. and lastly .... For any Aussie projectionists who, like myself, are not made aware of 'industry' information .... the upgrade software is indeed on the Nancy Drew discs.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-13-2007 06:53 PM                     Sometimes it is hard to get the word out on things like this. The good news though is that once this upgrade is done, the DTS system will self-upgrade as new films are played like Dolby Digital does.  |  IP: Logged Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 07-13-2007 07:18 PM                        That is good news Brad.... Thanks for that info.  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 07-14-2007 04:03 PM                    quote: Matt Close Apparently I am not worthy enough to be made aware of 'industry' information. Maybe goto the DTS website and sign up for mailings or something. We were notified via email that the DTS6AD readers were in need of a software upgrade and the following discs included the software: Nancy Drew and Evan Almighty. There was even short instruction sheet as to how to do it, in case you didn't know how. Like you said....nice going again DTS!  |  IP: Logged Matt Close Expert Film Handler Posts: 226 From: Hervey Bay, QLD, Australia Registered: Sep 2001 posted 07-14-2007 10:38 PM                        Thanks Frank ... I will do that. See how easy it is to give a helpful, polite answer.....  |  IP: Logged Thomas Dieter Expert Film Handler Posts: 234 From: Yakima, WA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 08-09-2007 12:54 AM                     Though it says the information is for the DTS XD10 unit, is it the same software for the DTS 6AD unit? I just want to make sure I have the right software prior to installing it, and causing a problem bigger than what we already have. --Tom  |  IP: Logged
