we have a dts system with 3 drives. i was wondering if it would be possible to play and audio cd in the third drive. we have a tape player hooked up to the unit it now, but its harder to make tapes than cds.
thanks..------------------

Brad is way right. Don't do it.(wouldn't work anyway) Best advice is to get a DTS trailer disc for your third drive. Call DTS and request 'em. Usally have just about all the current trailers on them.

yea, i didn't really think it would work. i'm gonna ask our head projectionist about hooking up a discman to it, and replace his tape player.------------------

Just hook up a microphone and sing in between shows

Hook up a Quadraphonic 8-track tape player and play one of those Ford demo tapes

No, you cannot play any type of disc that is not a DTS cinema movie or trailer disc.Do not confuse the consumer software with the cinema discs = they are not the same and cannot be interchanged.

Steve, I had to laugh at that one.....thanks. I needed a good laugh today. That would be a neat trick connecting it to the third drive, wouldn't it?
