5.5.3. Verifying Operation

5.5.3.1. Verify Sound Performance

1. Thread the DTS Demo reel (Buzz and Bill) through the projector and DTS reader. Be sure the

XD10 is fully booted and ready to play. The soundtrack for Buzz and Bill is factory-loaded on the

hard drive.

2. Start the projector. When the DTS Playback LED lights, verify that the XD10 automatically

switches the cinema processor to the (DTS) Digital format. Verify that sound is heard in the

monitor speaker. Open the porthole (if possible) and verify that sound is heard in the auditorium.

3. While still in the booth, verify that the XD10 front panel display shows the film title, serial

number, reel number and running timecode. (Information in the display's fourth line is

configurable by the user. For more information on selecting the type of information to display in

Line 4, see Chapter 1, Operating the XD10 Cinema Media Player, in this manual.)

4. Go into the theater while the Demo reel is playing. Verify sound is in-sync, sounds well balanced

and has overall good digital sound quality.

If levels sound unbalanced, check the cinema processor’s output levels. Then be sure that the

XD10 output of 300mV RMS on all channels matches the buss level of your cinema processor.

The XD10 MUST match the cinema processor’s buss level. (The buss level of your cinema

processor should be indicated in its manual or consult the manufacturer.)

5. If the theater has two projectors, repeat this procedure for Projector 2.
