If you do, then that's likely your issue. If not then I would recommend you change out the hard drive in the XD10, load the operating software and configuration settings, then reload the 2001 audio. Odds are that will fix it. I can assist with this process if you need.  |  IP: Logged David J Hilsgen Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: SAUK RAPIDS,MN .

Compare the size with the ones on disk. There could be a problem with the files on the thumb drive for those reels. You say it happens on more than one XD10? All XD10s loaded from the thumb drive? You can copy the files from the disks to a thumb drive on a computer.  |  IP: Logged David J Hilsgen Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: SAUK RAPIDS,MN .

Strange.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-30-2018 05:56 PM                     I believe the Music Box runs a 6D and I believe the Somerville runs an XD10. (Those are the stops the print had before you.)  |  IP: Logged David J Hilsgen Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: SAUK RAPIDS,MN . USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 06-30-2018 06:38 PM                     Brad, was 2.2.06 the last version for the xd 10 another ? on the reader that is hooked to that xd10 it does flash a lot when its working also the flashing continues when the audio drops on R#7  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 06-30-2018 07:21 PM                     2.2.06 is the last I know of. Got a disk from Data Sat before they imploded. That LED should be pretty solid. Have you checked the voltage? Is there scratching in the timecode? Procedure starts on pdf page 261 of this manual in the warehouse: http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/manuals/DTS_XD10_v2.1.pdf  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-30-2018 07:55 PM                     Yes v2.2.06 is the final golden version of the software for XD10 and XD20 players. I realized it had never been added to the warehouse, so it's there now. Link to download The download is a full CLEAN INSTALL disc, so it will wipe everything on the unit and reload it all from scratch. If I recall, it takes around 45 minutes or so. Then of course your settings have to be reloaded (which could be previously exported to a USB stick to save time). I'm still thinking Dave has a corrupt hard drive. He has 2 readers, each reader tied to a different DTS unit and the other reader isn't blinking, so likely that's just a reader issue. HOWEVER since his display shows what reel number and time marker it is on tells me it's receiving timecode "good enough" and there is simply a matter of a corrupt audio file. Remember the drive in XD10 players are IDE. (Translated that means "really old".)  |  IP: Logged David J Hilsgen Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: SAUK RAPIDS,MN . USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 06-30-2018 10:43 PM                     Thanks Brad & Stephan,i got the file down loaded, my reader is fairly new on the xd10 it was overstock from the hate full 8 rollout manufactured by the company that made them for dts the other one is from the outfit down in florida that takes 35mm ones & converts them  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-01-2018 05:46 PM                        Somerville has an XD20. We played the Todd-AO mix (not the 5.1) and had no problems. Timecode LEDs were solid throughout. The sound quality of that mix was excellent.  |  IP: Logged
