i have a serius problem (i guess) with one of my DTS6-AD, during shows and not in all of it we lose the audio, i found on the display that the procesor is changing from projector 1 to prejector 2 and it bounces back and fourth. i unnplugged the status/ control A cable to see if i hava the problem inside the DB25 cable but the problem still.
did some body have any tip?
thanks

Shut down the system, swing open the front panel and pull the three cards, then reseat them to see if that would cure the problem.

Sometimes that middle card can be the culprit.

Give this a shot.

Good luck -Monte

The DTS-6AD has notorious bad ribbon cables/connectors. They oxidize. Open it up, pull the ribbons (one at a time) and burnish off the contacts and re-insert. I know DTS, at one time, had a kit to change out the ribbons.
