Author Topic: DTS-6D Player making a "motor boat" noise Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 05-26-2008 08:32 PM                     I've got a DTS-6D player that has crapped out. All that is output through the audio connector is a motor-boat noise, regardless if a disc is playing or not. I've troubleshot this to the D536-RevD board (same board is bad in another player - different board OK in this player). Any suggestions on repair vs replace?  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-26-2008 08:36 PM                     Although I don't know how much it would be to do a repair/exchange, I would imagine it would be cheaper to do so rather than replacing the unit.  |  IP: Logged Michael Dolan Film Handler Posts: 77 From: Deerfield Beach, fl.

When I checked it out it it was a loud motor noise but you could could still here the sound from the film under it. We fixed it by going into our processor Dolby CP50 and pulling all the matrix cards out and cleaning them and puttin them back in. It fixed the problem right away. Now im sure if you have the same equipment as us. we have old equipment and your problem maybe something totally different. If it is sorry about the waste of time.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 05-27-2008 12:28 AM                     quote: Blaine Young Any suggestions on repair vs replace? Give these folks a call on your DTS problem since those older players are no longer supported by DTS themselves. They got one of my DTS-6 units in repair and see what happens. Good luck - Monte  |  IP: Logged Mike B.
