Author Topic: EPISODE 3 IN THE AIR ! Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-28-2005 03:38 AM                        quote: Alan Haigh Per, what kind of DTS player do you have? It may need upgrading... Screen # 1 is a 1993-vintage dts6 - running without disturbance ever and still with the original drives. Also tried same prints and same three sets of discs in Screen #2 on dts-6d with same result. BTW: Last night, I watched the whole, endless credits for the first time: No crediting of DTS at all - No other sound credits than SRD-ex. Is this political or what ?

At the same time, "Shall We Dance" and "Sharks Tale" run without trouble in same DTS 6 - unit. Does this say anything to You ?

I remember seeing in a report that this update would be done though the actual Film Discs with no tech or projectionist intervention but I suppose this did not happen with yours. Check the firmware or call one of the DTS guys to tell you how to check it. That might probably be the fault. But then again your DTS drives are like 12 years old so I wouldn't be supprised if they need changing. D  |  IP: Logged
