Author Topic: DTS 5-Screen Channel USB Flash Drive Paul Finn Film Handler Posts: 41 From: Bay City, MI Registered: Jan 2019 posted 05-08-2019 01:02 PM                     Datasat/DTS five screen channel USB flash drives were shipped with the new 2001 A Space Odyssey 70mm film prints. Only 5.1 Datasat CD discs were also provided. Can the five screen channel USB flash drive be copied to a CD-R and played on a Special Venue (SV) DTS-6D or DTS-6AD to reproduce the full original six channel soundtrack? Only the SV DTS CD processors play either 5.1 or 6.0 discs.

We haven't tried them on the 6D as we don't have 5 screen channels but I assume they'd work as they have the old-style dts.exe on them.  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 05-08-2019 03:32 PM                     The problem is the special venue "disk" uses channel 7 & 8 in the XD-10/20 that is not available on the 6D. The special venue disks for the 6D put LE & RE on the left & right surround channels and uses the subwoofer channel as a mono surround. You need a special disks for the 6D channel configuration plus reassign the output.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The "Unrestored" and the "8-channel" of prior releases but LC/RC on their designated channels. Prior releases put LC/RC on Ls/Rs. Note, the SAME PRINT NUMBER is used for the Unrestored and the prior releases and the soundtracks do work (I tried it...not all of the way through but enough). 5.1, 6.0, 8-channel and unrestored versions can be had.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

When we played it last summer, we got both disks (5.1 and Todd-AO). The Todd-AO mix played fine in an XD20.  |  IP: Logged
