Author Topic: Using a DTS breakout board on a DA20 Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 09-24-2002 01:06 AM                        Is this possible? I compared the pins of the DA20 and the breakout board and the only difference between the two is that the LE, RE and SPARE OUT are brought to ground in the DTS breakout board. Could this cause a problem, or are these pins not used in the Da20?

Are you trying to hook the output of a DA20 into a particular processor? Are you trying to loop a signal into the DA20?  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 09-24-2002 09:51 PM                     I think Josh was wondering if the DTS breakout board could be used to interface the DA-20 with a CP-55.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-24-2002 10:18 PM                     The D574 breakout board? If so, yes it will work. Josh, if you want the official Dolby cable, I have spares. Just email me.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 09-25-2002 11:24 AM                        I wanted to use it to check that the unit was putting out audio, but last night I just went ahead and hooked the bastard up. crazy that a box of electronics can convert a bunch of dots into sound again.

All "Ones" and Zeros". ...and some think "Zeros" don't mean nothing.  |  IP: Logged Karen Hultgren Master Film Handler Posts: 492 From: Agoura Hills, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-25-2002 06:27 PM                        If you are talking about audio breakout board, then, yes it will work. If you are talking about the logic, the only way for the logic to work properly is to turn off the digital system not needed for the feature. The DA20 and the DTS logic fight each other on the CP65.
