7.5.4. Automation Operating Mode
This menu allows the operating mode of the format switching to be set to one of three ways. The
default setting is DTS-6D Emulation. The operating mode defines the conditions that need to be met
for the XD10 to switch the CP to the DTS format. The operating mode applies only to format
switching for film soundtrack playback. It does not affect format switching for the video playlists
soundtrack.

Options:
DTS-6D Emulation The XD10 emulates the 6D. (See Section 7.5.4.1 for a
detailed explanation.)
Auto-Switch The XD10 switches to DTS format only if it is in an
optical format. (See Section 7.5.4.2 for a detailed
explanation.)
Preselect Mode The automation system must select the DTS format. (See
7.5.4.3 for a detailed explanation.)
7.5.4.1. DTS-6D Emulation
The XD10 pulses the CP to DTS format whenever it starts playing audio, regardless of the format
previously selected from the automation system. When XD10 audio completes or is interrupted, the
XD10 pulses the fallback format. This format switching operation is the same as that of the DTS-6/6D
products.
The XD10 also pulses the fallback format when the audio stops and pulses the nonsync format when
the end of the feature is reached.
In the DTS-6D Emulation mode, the XD10 will not react to format changes in the cinema processor. If
a projectionist—or the automation system—changes the format, the XD10 ignores this. The XD10 will
not react or attempt to pulse the format back to DTS. However, when this happens, the blue DTS
Playback LED on the front panel will begin to blink. This is to alert the projectionist that DTS is
playing, but the XD10 is not in DTS format.
