5. XD10 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
5.1. Routine Maintenance
Use compressed air to blow off the Timecode Reader’s optics (lens) once every day to remove dust.
Using a DVD cleaning disc, the DVD drives should be cleaned every six months, or as needed.
The Timecode Reader head’s voltage should be checked and recalibrated after three months service, and
then every six months thereafter. For details, see DTS Technical Note Reader Head LED Voltage
Calibration, TN-E550. (TN-E550 is included in this manual, in Appendix H Technical Notes.) You may
obtain a copy from DTS Cinema Technical Support via e-mail at [e-mail]

5.2. XD10 Troubleshooting Tips
It’s always a good idea to stand in the theater and listen to the first few minutes of the movie. Listen to
the sound level and general quality of the sound. The sound track should be in sync with the picture (wait
for a dialogue scene) and played at a comfortable level. Even though not every scene will have surround
material, do your best to listen for the surround speakers. Most opening musical sequences contain
surround information. To adjust the overall sound level in the theater, adjust the main fader on the
cinema processor.
Be sure the soundtrack was loaded for the film you are playing. Feel free to contact DTS
Post Production for help.
5.2.1. I have a DTS print but I don’t have discs
Contact your film distributor and ask for the disc(s). Remember a film that runs less than 90 minutes will
have only one movie disc – which should also be labeled “one disc only”. Movies running over 90
