Any Ideas why?

Wow, I am amazed, I thought Canadians were the only ones that knew about the Castro involvement.Back in October '62, when missile launch bases were discovered on Cuban soil, just 90 miles from the coast of the continental United States, Kennedy set up a blockade of Russian ships. For a while it looked like WW III might break out. Realizing the need to immediately summon all U.S military personnel in the event this did happen, coded film-strips were assembled to warn those who might be watching a movie at the time. It decoded: D - damned I- imperative. G - go I - immediate T - trans A - atlantic L - launch. S - send O - out U - U 2's (spy planes) N - now D - dammit
Hence the two types of dts strips.
Unfortunately, the project was shelved for a few decades when it was discovered that most theatres were mono.

Señor Castro me dice que, en el mundo del sonido digital, hay muchos que saben lo que quieren decir las letras D T S. Se puede establecer el nombre DTS como algo sinónimo con calidad, tal como THX. Todos conocemos las marcas registradas como Kleenex, Band-Aid y Vice Grips. Todos conocen el nombre Dolby también, pero es un nombre viejo que ha querido decir muchas cosas. Mientras tanto, el nombre DTS siempre ha querido decir sonido digital del cine (y el cine del hogar). Quizás, en el futuro, las personas van a hablar de DTS como hablan ahora de Band-Aid o Kleenex.También se dice que el Señor Castro no quiere comprar el disco de <<La guerra de las galaxias, Episodio uno: La amenaza fantasma>> hasta que haya uno con el sonido DTS-ES. A Castro le encanta Jar-Jar Binks.
