The  DTS-6D  Processor (player)

The DTS-6D processor is designed to be integrated into your existing theater sound system without
affecting normal theater operation.  All interconnects are standalone.  No cuts or jumpers are necessary
on most systems.

DTS-6D processor requires 5 

1/4

" tall by 17" deep of 19" wide rack space for proper mounting.  Select a

space in the sound rack not more than three feet from the existing cinema processor to be interconnected.
Bolt the DTS processor into the rack.  Be sure to observe ventilation requirements specified in the
beginning of this book.

Check that the DTS-6D  front panel power switch is in the 

OFF 

position.  Check that the rear panel AC

voltage switch is properly set for your main AC supply rating.

Connect the power cable to the DTS-6D processor.  (NOTE: The DTS-6D processor is a computer
based system and as such can be susceptible to power line surges.  A quality surge/spike suppresser made
for computers is recommended.

Connect the 9-pin cable (P/N D435) from the timecode reader head to the back of the DTS-6D
processor.

Refer to wiring drawings in Section VIII that relates to your specific installation.  Connect the analog and
logic  cables/cards 

 

to your cinema sound processor.  If installing to a 

SMART

 cinema processor, contact

SMART

 directly

:

  Telephone (800) 45-

SMART

.  DTS does offer 

SMART 

interface cables, for 

MODV 

 use

D714  and  

MODVI

  use D706.

You may connect the DTS-6D into sound racks that contain digital sound systems from Dolby and Sony.
See Section VIII  “Wiring Diagrams”  for installation details.

The DTS-6D uses caddy-less 

CD-ROM

 drives.  “Caddy-less” means the drive will not accept a 

CD-ROM

disc in a caddy or case.  Instead, you must remove the disc from its case and place it on the 

CD

 tray.  See

Section V “Caddy-less 

CD-ROM

 Drives” for details.

The DTS-6D has three 

CD-ROM

 drives.  Drives “A” and “B” should be used for DTS movie discs and

Drive “C” should be used for DTS trailer discs.  You may, however, play movie discs in any of the three
drives.
