DTS-6 Installation Manual Section 3: Installation Procedure

The DTS-6 Processor

• The DTS-6 processor is designed to be integrated into your existing theater sound system

without affecting normal theater operation. All interconnects are stand-alone. No cuts or

jumpers are necessary on most systems.

• DTS-6 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-6 front panel power switch is in the OFF position.

• Connect the power cable to the DTS-6 processor. (NOTE: The DTS-6 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-6 processor.

• Refer to wiring drawings in Section VIII that relates to your specific installation. Connect

the DTS-6 50-pin cable (P/N D434) into your cinema sound system / processor.

• The 15-pin “stereo” cable is used for some installations. It is used to route the DTS-6

subwoofer output to the subwoofer amplifier. It is used with the Dolby CP200, CP55,

and some UltraStereo processors. Other cinema processors use the other DTS subwoofer

output at the 50-pin connector (JM21). See Section VIII “Wiring Diagrams” and find the

diagram that pertains to your installation.

• You may connect the DTS-6 into other digital playback sound systems. You may obtain

the necessary adapters from DTS.
