Use DTS Setup Disc to verify DTS SPL adjustments. Use multimeter to follow the signal path.
•
Monitor signal and turn the DTS level pot. If no change is seen, the pot is bad. Replace player.
•
Is the signal level the same with the DTS disconnected from CP? If signal increases, something after DTS is padding
down the signal.
•
DTS6: Is JM21 plugged in correctly? Look at orientation of
PIN 1

If the B-chain was just tuned, be sure the pink noise card has been removed and all the CP cards have been
reinstalled and are correctly orientated.
*
If the DTS player is in a roll-around rack that uses an interface such as the Odyssey System. Connect DTS
directly to CP and test with Setup Disc. If that works, then the interface has a problem.
*
Switch CP into an optical sound format. Replace DTS player.
*
Verify the light on the drives are not on solid. If they are, the disc(s) cannot be read. Move the discs around, if
the problem follows the disc, the disc is bad. If the problem follows the drive, the drive is bad.

*
Verify DTS connection to automation: BS22 on DTS-6,
