Hello all again.
We have a theater with a CP65, DTS-6D and a DTS E-S Unit. When the DTS sends sound to the back surrounds (any film), there is a strange clicking sound on the speakers like the ones we have when you do an Audio CD copy at high speed and you hear that clicking sounds. Any idea as to what might be happening?
Best Regards
D

Is DTS-ES unit active when you hear those clicking sounds? Or is it in bypass (red led on, if I remember?)
Do you have one ampli in stereo for back surround or two?
Make us know something more, please.

Dts is on Bypass (no ES enabled) and also the system has one QSC Amp (not sure of model) stereo driving both back left and back right surround.

For a quick test...

Try swapping the back surround amp with the side surround amp. Does the fault move to the sides. If so it's the amp, if not it's the ES unit. But check all the cables are in securely as well.
