Author Topic: DTS upgrade Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 01-15-2010 07:18 PM                     After doing some searches on this, I still have a question. Will today's DTS 6 or 6D upgrade kit work with any past DTS unit? Even one that has never been upgraded.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

They have always included the boards and firmware needed for the upgrade.

Both kits includes the upgrade V.1.46 chip, SCSI controller card and the AQRM card. -Monte  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-16-2010 08:47 PM                     They're not called Computer Spirit any more. I don't happen to remember the new name off the top of my head but it is posted on Datasat's Web Site. And they now have ALL DTS player parts available.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

They did do the DVD upgrade drives, and a new reader.  |  IP: Logged Phillip Ng Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Thousand Oaks, CA , USA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 01-30-2010 11:38 PM                     CS Innotronics (formerly Computer Spirit) is the DTS factory service center supporting all current and legacy DTS products.
