2. Loading and Playing Content
2.1. Types of Content
The XD10 plays three types of content:
• Soundtracks (Features and trailers)
• Video (Standard and High Definition)
• CSS (Cinema Subtitling System: Subtitling, Captions and Narration)
Version 2.1
Soundtracks are DTS audio files for features and trailers. They are delivered on discs, which are inserted in the CD/DVD drives on the front panel of the XD10 and saved on the XD10's hard drive.
DTS video content can be delivered in two ways: discs that can be downloaded to the XD10 or content delivered via a network. The video content includes a configuration file that determines the video playlists, schedules and automatic start times.
The creation of content discs is not covered in this manual.
The XD10 will not play standard consumer DVD movies or music CDs. XD10 content DVDs for cinema must be created using proprietary DTS software.
The DTS-CSS system was designed to aid hearing impaired and visually impaired audiences. In addition, it is also capable of language translations.
In order to use the CSS system, your XD10 must have a license for the CSS Option. Three types of program content may be provided to a theater equipped with an XD10 that has the CSS option installed.
• Projected Subtitles or Captions
• Captions for rear data wall
• Narration
The CSS content is not delivered with the feature soundtrack disc(s). They are delivered separately.
CSS discs will be labeled “DTS Access™” and with the same show title and serial number as the feature soundtrack disc. The disc label also shows what type of CSS content is included, as not all types of CSS content are included with all CSS discs.
Not all features provide a DTS Access™ disc. Check with your distributor or contact DTS for features that are available.
The CSS playback works the same as DTS feature audio playback, in the sense that the film contains timecode that must match the assigned film and audio serial numbers. This prevents playback of the wrong content with the wrong feature.
The projectionist threads the film through the DTS Timecode Reader Head on the projector, and when the show starts, the CSS will play automatically, synchronizing the content to the film. Some operational tasks can be performed by the projectionist. These are explained in more detail in Chapter
3, Playback Menus.
These are some of the terms associated with the CSS Option.
7 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
CSS: Cinema Subtitling System. A system designed by DTS that provides DTS Access™ content.
DTS Access™: Group of delivery playback files that include subtitles, narration, and Rear
Window™. (Rear Window is a trademark of WGBH public broadcasting system in Boston.)
Subtitle: Projected text of on-screen dialog. Often this has been translated into a language different than the original version.
Caption (“front captions”): Projected text on screen that contains both film dialog and sound descriptions. This is also referred to as Open Caption.
Rear Window™ (“rear captions”): This system consists of a LED reader board (display) mounted in the auditorium of the theater. It receives serial data from the CSS and displays caption text that is projected onto individual reflectors rather than the screen.
Narration: This is a description of on screen action during feature playback. It is normally received via an IR (Infrared) or FM (Frequency Modulation) device to a head set worn by an audience member.
CSP: Cinema Subtitle Projector is a custom designed video projector for use with the CSS Option only.
EMA (External Masking Apparatus): A bracket that holds the CSP (cinema subtitling projector). Also contains a special douser and masking system
Most content is delivered on discs. Customers who have XD10s with the HD Video Option may make arrangements with DTS to receive content via a network.
2.2.1. Types of DTS Discs
DTS theaters receive most content on CD-ROM discs. There are several types of discs.
1. DTS Soundtrack discs for feature films.
Soundtrack discs are issued by the film studios' distribution companies and must be returned with the prints. Feature film soundtrack discs sometimes include trailers.
2. DTS Trailer discs. These discs only contain trailer soundtracks. Trailer discs are distributed by DTS and do not have to be returned.
3. XD10 Video discs. These discs contain XD10 video content, playlist and schedule information. These discs do not have to be returned.
4. DTS Access™ discs are issued by the film studios' distribution companies and must be returned with the prints. Access discs may include any or all of the following and will only play when the XD10 has the CSS option:
• CSS subtitles or front captions (projected on the screen)
• “Rear” Captions (captions displayed at the rear of the theater and onto a “Rear
Window TM” display)
• Audio Description that describes action on screen.
The XD10 will only accept a disc made specifically for DTS cinema playback equipment. The
XD10 will reject consumer CD audio or DVD type discs.
2.2.2. DTS Cinema Media Network™
Customers with the High Definition Video Option may make arrangements with DTS to receive content via the DTS Cinema Media Network™. If the XD10 is connected to the DTS Cinema Media
Network™, then no operator intervention is required to receive video content and configuration. All
8 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
procedures are done remotely from the DTS Cinema Media Network™ when the XD10 is not being used for playback.
The network setup parameters for the XD10 must be configured, as required by the network system.
The specifics regarding the network system are not covered in this manual.
2.3. Loading Content
Generally, any DTS feature soundtrack disc (film or trailer), DTS Access™ disc (with CSS content), or XD10 video content disc will automatically load when inserted in the XD10 drive. The content will be copied onto the XD10 hard disc for playback at a later time. The XD10 will store several soundtracks and/or DTS Access™ discs for multiple features and trailers.
The XD10 will only accept a disc made specifically for cinema playback. The XD10 will reject consumer CD audio or DVD type discs.
Please note that DTS soundtrack feature discs do not contain CSS files for the feature. CSS content for a feature is on a DTS Access™ disc, and must be loaded separately. It does not matter whether the
DTS Access™ or soundtrack disc is loaded first. The CSS content for a feature can be loaded and played without the DTS soundtrack for the same feature.
2.3.1. DTS Soundtrack Discs
Soundtrack discs can be single discs or come as sets of double or triple discs.
1. 1-disc soundtrack. DTS soundtrack for films running about 90 minutes or less may be delivered with one disc. These discs are labeled as "one disc only".
2. 2-disc soundtrack. Films running 90 minutes but less than three hours will likely require two discs which are labeled “Disc A” and “Disc B”. These movie soundtracks discs must be loaded as a set.
3. 3-disc soundtrack. In rare cases, a soundtrack may require three discs (“Disc A”, “Disc B” and
“Disc C”) if it runs more than 3 hours. Loading a three disc soundtrack must be done in two separate load processes.
4. DTS trailer soundtrack discs. Trailer discs are always single discs.
9 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
2.3.2. Loading Soundtrack Discs
1. Start while the XD10 is not playing content. The status display should read “Ready.”
2. Open the DVD drive by pressing the “open/close” button, generally located just under the tray and to the right. Place the disc in the tray with the printed side up. For a two-disc or three-disc soundtrack, place Disc A into the top drive and Disc B in the bottom drive.
3. Close the tray by pressing the “open/close” button, and the XD10 will check the contents of the disc before loading. If it detects an error, it will display one of the following messages.
Warning: Second Disc
May be Missing
Insert Second Disc
[Enter] – Ignore
This warning message indicates that one disc of a two-disc set was not inserted. To add the second disc, press the left key to eject the disc and start over with both discs. This warning may also occur for a three-disc set and can be ignored. Press Enter to ignore the warning and proceed to load the contents.
ERROR: Installed
Discs Are Not a Set
[Left] Abort Load
[Enter] – Continue
This error message indicates that the two-disc set inserted in the drives is not a matching set. This could be caused by any of the following:
• The discs are from different movies.
• The discs are for the same movie but one is in a different language.
• The discs are duplicates
• One of the discs is not a cinema movie disc.
4. Press the â—„ key to eject the disc and start over with the matching discs. Pressing Enter will ignore the error, but the soundtrack loaded might be incomplete.
5. When the load process begins the XD10 displays information about the content currently being copied. For example:
Loading drive A
S65492 R4 Eng Snd
6. Typical load time is three minutes per disc. The following message appears when the load is complete.
Load Completed.
[Enter] – Continue
7. Press Enter and the disc trays will open. Remove the disc(s) from the tray(s). Press the
“open/close” button to close the tray(s).
8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for “Disc C” of a three-disc soundtrack.
10 Document #: 9301E692002.1

9. Place the DTS soundtrack discs back in the film canisters for return to the depot.
Version 2.1
2.3.2.1. Compatibility with Legacy Soundtrack Discs
Old DTS soundtrack discs did not contain a language ID. If you load an older disc that does NOT contain a Language ID, and if Language Versions is enabled, the XD10 will prompt you to identify the playback language desired. If you are prompted, you must identify the playback language of the disc. If Language Versions is disabled, the XD10 will NOT prompt you to identify the language.
If you load a disc and are prompted for the language, you must select the language from the
Languages menu. The only selection you make should match the language listed on the disc label.

2.3.3. Handling a CD-ROM Read Error
The following message may appear on the screen if an error occurs while the XD10 is loading the soundtrack disc:
Warning: CD ROM Error
Some Audio Missing
[Left] – Abort Load
[Enter] Continue
The options are:
• Press Enter to continue loading the incomplete material, or
• Press â—„ to Abort without loading any of the soundtrack.

2.3.4. Loading DTS XD10 Video Content Discs
XD10 video content discs will only load on an XD10 equipped with the HD Video Option. The procedure for loading DTS Video Content discs is:
1. Start while the XD10 is not playing content. The screen will display the following message.
Ready
2. Open the DVD drive. Place the disc in the tray with the printed side up.
3. Close the tray. The XD10 will check the contents of the disc before loading to ensure that it does not reload load video content already on the XD10.
4. When the load process begins, the XD10 will display information about the content currently being copied. For example:
Loading Video
Configuration Disc
Please Wait...
5. The following message will appear when the load is complete.

6. Press Enter and the disc trays will open. Remove the disc from the tray.
13 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
2.3.5. Loading a DTS Access™ Disc
DTS Access™ discs are always single discs labeled with the name of the feature film and the language of the content on the disc. To load a DTS Access™ disc, follow these steps:
1. Start when "Ready" is displayed on the LCD screen on the XD 10's front panel.
Ready
2. Open the drive, place the disc in the tray with the printed side up, and close the tray. The XD10 will display information about the content being copied. For example:
Loading drive A
S5481F Z100 ENGC SBT
3. The following message will appear when the load is complete.
Load Completed.
[Enter]–Continue
4. Press Enter and the disc trays will open. Remove the disc from the tray and close the tray.
DTS Access™ discs will load onto an XD10 even if the unit is not licensed for the discs. But they will only play back on XD10s that have a CSS license.
2.4. Managing Disk Space
The XD10 hard disk reserves 25 gigabytes of space for film soundtrack and CSS content. The XD10 uses about one G-byte of space for an average two-hour feature with soundtrack including DTS
Access™ content, such as subtitles. Alternatively, one G-byte can also hold content for approximately
50 three-minute trailers.
The XD10 automatically ensures there is enough storage space on the hard drive before loading new feature and trailer soundtracks. When necessary, it deletes old material to make room for new content.
Old material consists of the features and trailers that have not been played for the longest duration of time. All content associated with the selected feature or trailer, such as different language versions, is deleted at the same time.
Content for features or trailers can be deleted manually as well. See Chapter 3, Section 3.2.2.5.1.1,
Delete Contents, for more information.
XD10 units with the Video Option are equipped with a larger hard disk and have 70 gigabytes or more reserved for video content. The hard disk space for the video content is separate from the space for the film content. Adding video content does not reduce the space for film content, and vise versa.

Playback of content that is synchronized to the film is controlled by the signal from the DTS
Timecode Reader Head as the film passes through. The XD10 searches its internal hard drive for any soundtrack and/or CSS content that matches the feature reel or trailer that is currently playing. The
LED indicators on the XD10 front panel show which content type is playing.
When film with DTS timecode passes through the DTS Reader head, the green light on the reader will illuminate and the Timecode LED on the XD10 front panel will illuminate. At this point, the corresponding DTS content will automatically play.
If DTS soundtrack is playing, the blue DTS Playback LED will illuminate. If CSS content is playing, then the corresponding LED will illuminate (Audio Narration, Serial or CSP text).
2.5.2. Changeovers
When you use two projectors, the XD10 will automatically make a sound changeover when the first frame of the picture with timecode arrives at the aperture plate on the upcoming projector.
DTS Digital Sound® changes independently from the projector’s douser position. You may need to adjust the roll down on the upcoming projector to make the changeover “seamless.”
For more information, see Chapter 4, Section 4.5, Guide for a Seamless Changeover.
2.5.3. Handling Film Breaks and Edits
The XD10 will automatically track any length of edit. A 30-millisecond cross fade will make the edit transparent. In the unfortunate event of a film break, DTS can be started from that point after the film repair is made. Before starting again, verify that the cinema processor is in DTS digital format.

2.6. Playing Video Playlists
Version 2.1
Video playlists are defined by the video configuration disc, or its equivalent, if delivered through the network. The playlists loaded on the XD10 can only be changed by providing a new configuration file.
The configuration may contain up to eight unique playlists.
The slide-loop is a special type of playlist that may be played before the Preshow playlist. The slideloop is a series of images, video clips, and audio clips that continuously loop until the Preshow playlist starts. The Preshow playlist may be started by menu, automation, or an automated start time determined by the video configuration. When the Preshow start is given, the XD10 finishes the current clip of the slide-loop before beginning the Preshow playlist.
2.6.1.2. Preshow and Intermission Playlists
The Preshow playlist is normally shown before the film starts. The Intermission Playlist is normally shown during the film intermission period. The timing of automation events may be programmed individually for both types of playlists.
2.6.1.3. Playlists C through G
Playlists C through G do not have a predefined purpose. They are available if there is a need to have separate playlists. The timing of automation events may be programmed individually for each of these playlists.
In some cases, an “end slide” is used as the last clip in the playlist. When the end slide is used, the playlist does not automatically stop. Instead, the image continues to appear until the XD10 receives the video Stop command, or the Video Inhibit signal.
2.6.2. Start and Stop Video Playlists
There are two ways to start and stop video playlists: using menu commands or using automation.
2.6.2.1. Start and Stop Video with Menu Commands
The XD10 menus may be used to start or stop a video playlist. See Chapter 3, Playback Menus, for details.
2.6.2.2. Start and Stop Video through Automation
Functions to start and stop the video are also available through the menus or by automation commands. The function must be assigned to one of the automation pins through the XD10 setup menus. See the section on Pin Definitions in the Audio Setup section of Chapter 7, System Setup
Menus, for reference.
16 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
The playlist schedule is defined by the video configuration file. The playlist schedule determines which playlist will be shown, based on time and date. For example, the configuration file may define a different playlist for the Preshow playlist when the playlist starts at night than when it starts during the day. In order for the scheduling to be correct, the date and time for the XD10 clock must be set correctly. If the XD10 is connected through the network and has a network time server configured, then the clock is automatically set by the program. Otherwise, the clock must be set through the menus.
The clock battery must be replaced every few years if the XD10 is not connected to a network containing a Network Time Server.
2.6.2.4. Automatic Start Times
The video configuration file may contain a list of automatic start times. If automatic start times are used, then they are under control of the network, and cannot be viewed or changed by the XD10. The start times define the window of time between when the slide-loop will begin, and when the Preshow playlist will end.
The slide-loop or Preshow will not begin if the XD10 is receiving timecode or the Video Inhibit signal is active at the start time. However, the playlist will begin when both of these conditions are removed, provide that it occurs within the start window as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Automatic Start Times
17 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
The Video Inhibit function may be assigned to one of the automation pins through the XD10 setup menus. See the information on Pin Definitions in Chapter 7, System Setup Menus, to define these pins.
The XD10 will not start video playback as long as the video inhibit signal is active. The XD10 will also stop video playback immediately if this signal becomes active during the video playback.

2.6.3. End of Playlist
At the start of the playlist, a "Lamp on" command is immediately sent to the video projector through the serial port. The first video clip can be delayed, programmable from 0 to 120 seconds after the start, to allow the lamp to warm-up. A start pulse output may be programmed to occur from 0 to 120 seconds after the "Playlist start" command.
For video clips with audio, the XD10 will trigger the cinema processor to switch to the DTS format.
For video without audio, the XD10 triggers the cinema processor to switch to the silent video format.
These formats are programmable through the XD10. The format pulse occurs only at the transition from audio to no audio, or vice versa.
18 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
The XD10 may be programmed to send an end pulse near the end of the playlist. The end pulse timing may be programmed to occur from between 60 seconds before to 60 seconds after the end of the playlist (negative end pulse). The negative end pulse is useful for triggering a film projector to ramp up before the playlist ends, so that the film starts immediately after the playlist ends. In cases where the playlist is shorter than the negative end pulse offset, then the end pulse will occur at the playlist end.
The XD10 may be programmed to turn off the video projector at the end of the playlist. The XD10 may also be programmed to switch the cinema processor to a particular sound format at the end of the playlist.
2.7. XD10 Indicators and Display for Video
The video LED is lit whenever the XD10 is in process of playing a video playlist or video test content.
The DTS playback LED is lit whenever the Video playlist is currently playing audio. The XD10 pulses the cinema processor to the DTS format when the DTS Playback LED goes on. The XD10 pulses the cinema processor to a specified Silent audio format or the end of the Preshow video when the XD10 “DTS Playback” LED goes off.
2.7.1. Video LCD Display
The XD10 front display shows the current status during the video playback. It is possible to enter the
XD10 menus and make adjustments while the video is playing.
Note that any changes made with playlist automation setup menus do not take affect until the next playlist starts.
2.7.2. Projector Warming Up Display
The XD10 sends the Projector On command (to the video projector) as soon as the playlist starts.
Then, it waits for the video start delay period before displaying any video. The following shows the display during that period.
Projector Warming up

2.8. Video Projector Support
This software supports the following video projectors:
• Sanyo PLV-70
• Sanyo PLV-WF10
The software is designed to work in a fully automated fashion with these projectors. These projectors are controlled via the XD10 serial port to support the following functionality:
• Auto-detect which video projector is connected.
• Read lamp and projector hours. These values are placed in the playlist log.
• Save video projector settings to the XD10.
• Restore video projector settings. The projector settings are sent to the video projector whenever the playlist starts and its lamp is lighted. The settings are not sent when the video is played through the video test menu. This allows you to use the test menu to adjust the projector settings on the video projector. Then you can use "Get Settings" menu command to save the video projector settings.
Video projectors not listed can be used, but the XD10 will not have the functions listed above and will require an external automation controller to turn their lamps on and off.

4. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Check the DTS Online TechCenter for the latest technical information at www.dts.com/digitalcinema for the latest information on maintenance, troubleshooting, and XD10 software versions.
• Every day: Use compressed air to blow dust off the Timecode Reader’s lens.
• Every six months – or as needed: Clean the DVD drives using a DVD cleaning disc.
• After three months service – and every six months afterwards: If your DTS Timecode Reader
Head does not have an RoHS sticker on it, check and recalibrate the DTS Timecode Reader
Head’s voltage using TN-E550. (You can see TN-E550 on the free DTS Online TechCenter located on the DTS website at www.dts.com/cinema.) DTS Timecode Reader Heads with stickers indicating that they are RoHS compliant do not require this adjustment.
• Every three years: Have a technician change the battery on the motherboard. Instructions for the technician are listed in Appendix I, Technical Maintenance.
4.2. XD10 Soundtrack Check
After installing and setting up the unit—or doing a maintenance check—it is a good idea to play content and stand in the theater while listening to the first few minutes of the movie. Check for the following:
• The overall sound level is comfortable and balanced.
• The DTS soundtrack quality is excellent and does not include extraneous noise.
• The dialog is in sync with the picture being projected.
• The surround speakers are heard at the correct level. (Please note that not all scenes will have surround material.)
To adjust the overall sound level in the theater, adjust the main fader on the cinema processor.
If you are having soundtrack playback problems, first check the contents to be sure the soundtrack that was loaded is the soundtrack for the film you are playing. Feel free to contact
DTS Technical Service for assistance. Contact information for the US is listed below. Contact information for Europe and Japan is listed on page x of this guide.

4.3. Frequently Asked Questions
Version 2.1
4.3.1. I Have a DTS Print but No Discs
1. Check the hard drive to see if the movie soundtrack has already been loaded. From the Ready message on the LCD screen, press Enter → Playback → Contents → Features to view the list of all soundtracks loaded in the XD10 hard drive.
2. If the soundtrack is not listed in the XD10 contents, find the feature’s soundtrack disc and load it into the XD10. If you cannot find the soundtrack disc, contact the film distributor and request the disc.
Remember that a film that runs less than 90 minutes will have only one movie disc. It should be labeled “one disc only.” Movies running over 90 minutes will have two discs. Occasionally, you may encounter a 3+ hour long film and those normally have three discs, with special show instructions.
4.3.2. Film Is Not in Sync or Does Not Sound Right
Do not attempt to remedy these problems while playing in DTS.
1. Turn off the XD10 unit.
2. Listen and verify that the movie is playing properly in the analog (usually SR) format.
3. Let the film finish playing in analog.
4. Ask the theater technician to perform a full DTS quality check and verify sync with the demo film. Give the technician at least one hour to complete the test and alignment. (See Sections 7.1,
TC (Timecode) Reader Offset, for sync, and 7.2.2, Audio Setups, for channel calibration.)
4.3.3. Volume Is Too Loud
Do not adjust the XD10 audio level from the menu controls.
1. Turn down the fader on the cinema processor.
2. If the sound level needs adjustment after the cinema processor has switched to DTS digital, contact your theater technician and request a DTS sound check.

4.3.4. XD10 Does Not Play Soundtrack Audio to Film
Version 2.1
4.3.4.1. Timecode LED Is Blinking
If the XD10 is not playing digital audio, first check to see if the timecode LED on the front panel is illuminated. If it is illuminated, but is blinking, then check the following:
1. If the reader’s LED is dark, check to make sure that the film is threaded correctly through the
DTS Timecode Reader and that the film has a timecode strip (located between picture and analog sound tracks).
2. If you do not see a timecode strip (dots & dashes) between the analog soundtrack and the picture, call the film distributor and request a DTS print.
3. If the film does have timecode and the soundtrack is seen on the hard drive, then verify that the reader’s LED voltage using TN-E550.You can access TN-E550 at the online Tech Center at www.dts.com.
Never adjust the lens on the DTS Timecode Reader Head.
4. If the timecode LED is blinking, and the XD10 is dropping out of digital after the items listed above have been checked, call your theater technician for a system test. Ask the theater tech to refer to TN-E698, which is posted on the free online Tech Center at www.dts.com.
Note: Later versions of the reader head do not require adjustment. These heads can be identified by the “RoHS” sticker on them.
4.3.4.2. Timecode LED is Solid, but Playback LED is Not Lit
If the XD10 timecode LED is on solid, but the blue DTS Playback LED is not lit, then check the following:
1. Verify that the soundtrack is loaded on the XD10 hard drive. From the Ready message on the
LCD screen, press Enter → Playback → Contents → Features to view the list of all soundtracks loaded in the XD10 hard drive
2. If it is not listed, find the disc and load it. The soundtrack must be loaded onto the hard drive before you can play in the DTS digital format.
3. Verify that the DTS soundtrack discs match the film by checking the feature title on the disc label and the feature language.
47 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
4.3.4.3. Playback LED is Flashing at Regular Intervals
If the DTS Playback LED is flashing at regular intervals, then the XD10 is reporting that it is not in the DTS format. This would occur in the following situations:
• The automation system may have selected a different audio format after the XD10 had switched to the DTS optical formats before switching to the DTS format.
• If the automation mode is set to auto-switch, then the XD10 expects that the automation system first selects one of the optical formats—Mono, A, SR(1) or
SR (2)—before switching to the DTS format. If one of the optical formats is not selected, then the XD10 does not pulse the DTS format, and the DTS Playback
LED blinks.
• If the automation mode is set to pre-select, then the XD10 expects that the automation system first selects the DTS format. If the DTS format is not selected first, then the XD10 does not pulse the DTS format, and the DTS Playback
LED blinks.
4.3.5. XD10 Switches Out of DTS Digital
1. If the XD10 does not see timecode for four seconds, the XD10 automatically switches the
Cinema Processor to the default analog (usually SR). Verify that the green LED on the DTS
Timecode Reader Head is glowing brightly and steadily while the film is running.
2. If the Timecode LED on the DTS XD10 or reader head is blinking, check the reader’s voltage, using TN-E550. TN-E550 is posted on the online Tech Center at www.dts.com.
3. If the timecode light still does not illuminate steadily while film with timecode is running, use
TN-E698 to troubleshoot the problem. TN-E698 is posted on the online Tech Center at www.dts.com.
4. Verify that all sound cues from automation are completed before timecode starts or after it ends. If the sound format switches back to SR after the feature starts, then it is possible that automation is switching the cinema processor and overriding the XD10 pulse to digital. To avoid this, add some black leader before the start of timecode for the feature. It will give automation time to pulse the cinema processor to SR. Then when DTS timecode is seen, the
XD10 will pulse the cinema processor to digital, and it will stay there as long as valid timecode is seen by the XD10.
5. As a last resort, force the unit to play in optical mode. Turn off the XD10 and verify that the cinema processor switches to optical. If it does not, press the desired format button on the cinema processor. Contact your Theater Technician and request a DTS system check.

4.5. Guide For a Seamless Change-Over
When you are running a DTS movie with dual projectors, the picture and sound may not change at the same time during a change-over. The reason is that as soon as the first frame of action reaches the picture aperture on the incoming projector, the DTS Digital Sound ® will change over to that reel. DTS
Digital Sound ® changes independently of the projector’s douser position. Change-over anomalies are most evident on movies that have very tight editing / scene-change tolerances from the end of one reel to the start of the next reel.
When this occurs, perform one of the adjustment procedures below.
4.5.1. Sound Changes Before Picture
When threading the incoming projector, roll down the film to a greater number of feet. If you normally thread to “8”, try threading to “9” or “10.” Keep adjusting the roll-down setting until the picture changes with the sound. Also, try hesitating a second before starting the incoming projector on the first cue.
Adjusting the roll down setting is a judgment call. Base it on the time delay of the picture vs. sound.
One second of delay equates to 24 frames, or 1.5 feet.

XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
The XD10 Cinema Media Player is the main component of the XD10 system. Installation procedures include:
• Mounting the XD10 in a rack
• Connecting the XD10 to a cinema processor
• Connecting the XD10 to a power supply
• Installing the DTS Timecode Reader Head (for soundtrack or DTS Access™ content: subtitling, captions and narration.
If you have a license for the DTS-CSS Option, follow the procedures in Appendix J, Installing
DTS-CSS, after following the procedures in this chapter.
5.2.1. XD10 Player Installation
5.2.1.1. Rack Mounting and Connection
The XD10 player is designed to integrate into your existing theater sound system without affecting normal theater operation. All interconnects are standalone and most systems require no cuts or jumpers.
The XD10 requires 3U of standard rack space (5 1/4 x 15 x 19 inches) for proper mounting. Select a space in the sound rack within three feet of the cinema processor to which you are connecting.
1. Bolt the XD10 into the selected rack space.
2. Check that the XD10 front panel power switch is in the OFF position.
Caution: Because the XD10, like any other computer-based system, can be damaged by power line surges, we recommend using a computer-grade surge/spike suppresser.
3. Connect the analog and logic cables/cards to your cinema sound processor. (See Appendix B for wiring diagrams and Appendix C for cable assembly diagrams, including installation into sound racks containing digital sound systems from Dolby ® and/or Sony.)
4. If installing to a SMART cinema processor, contact SMART directly at
(800) 45-SMART. DTS does offer SMART interface cables: for MODVI or VII use DTS #E709.
5. Connect the supplied power cable between the XD10 and your power source.

XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
5.2.1.2. Rack Mount Recommendations
Follow these recommendations if the XD10 is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly.
• Determine the maximum and ambient temperatures within the rack, since they may be greater than the maximum and ambient temperatures in the room. The maximum temperature for the equipment in a closed or multi-rack assembly is 50°C (122F°)
• Ensure adequate airflow for cooling purposes on all sides of rack-mounted equipment. Make sure that ventilation fans and louvers are not blocked.
• Check nameplate ratings to ensure there is no overloading of supply circuits that could have an effect on over-current protection and supply wiring.
• Maintain reliable grounding of the equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than direct connections to the branch circuit.
• Use a quality surge/spike suppresser power strip to protect the unit.
54 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
The XD10 power supply automatically switches itself to accommodate AC input of between 110 VAC and 220 VAC.
The cooling fan in the power supply must be rotating when power is applied.
To prevent dirt from being pulled into the DVD drives, do not block the ventilation holes at the side of the XD10 player.
5.2.3. DTS Timecode Reader Head Installation
The DTS Timecode Reader Head is designed to be mounted onto most projectors with a single mounting bracket.
1. Position the appropriate DTS mounting bracket on the same bolt pattern as the reel arm and bolt securely in place. (See Appendix E for reference.)
2. If both 35mm and 70mm reader heads are to be used on the same bracket, add spacer breakaway plates to the readers. (See Appendix E for reference.)
3. Install the DTS Timecode Reader Head onto the DTS mounting bracket and bolt into place with supplied hardware.
4. Re-install the reel arm on the top bolt pattern of the DTS mounting bracket.
5. Align the DTS mounting bracket and the reel arm. Align the film along the path from the reel arm, through the mounted DTS Timecode Reader Head, to the projector.
Important: The DTS timecode reader MUST have a straight film path (no angles or twists) and at least a small amount of tension. Use the auxiliary flanged roller on the DTS Timecode
Reader Head to avoid film “walk out” and to stabilize the film. (See the section on Installing or
Changing Auxiliary Timecode Reader Head Roller in Appendix I: Technical Maintenance, for reference.) Additional guide rollers may be added to ensure proper film tension. This is most critical on platter systems.
6. Connect the 9-pin timecode cable to the reader and route to the sound rack. Connect the other end to the XD10 player rear panel “Timecode” connector.
5.2.3.1. Two Projector (Change-over) Theaters
Use a DTS timecode “Y” cable that will connect two readers to one XD10. Be sure to place each reader at the same location on each projector. This is to ensure the soundtrack plays in sync. The timecode offset values (distance from DTS reader to the projector’s picture gate) must be the same for each projector.

Whenever the XD10 drops out, a pulse will be sent to switch the cinema processor back to an analog
(usually SR) format.
Set the automation/cues on film so they will not override the format change once the DTS has started to play, which can result in switching to an incorrect format. Be aware that after a film break, you may have to manually select the digital format (on the cinema processor) for DTS playback if the XD10 indicates it is playing in digital (the blue light is illuminated).
• CP500: Must have the Cat. 685 (analog input card) installed. DTS is accessed through
Format 11.
• SMART: Mod VI and VII uses the DTS interface cable E709.
For other SMART cinema processors, contact SMART directly at (800) 45-SMART or
+1.770.449.6698.
5.3.2. Dolby
®
DA20 SR-D
®
System
The XD10 can be connected to the Dolby ® SR-D ® system without affecting performance of the
Dolby ® system.
The DA20 connects to the appropriate XD10 breakout board. When the XD10 is off, the DA20 output is routed through the breakout board. When the XD10 system is on and playing in digital, the DA20 connection (to the cinema processor) is switched out on the breakout card and the DTS digital soundtrack is given to the cinema processor.
In most instances, the SR-D ® system should be powered down when playing in DTS.
SDDS
®
The XD10 system cannot connect to the DFP-D2000 and DFP-D2500. It can connect to the DFP-
D3000 and DCP1000. See the interface and cable and interface drawings in Appendixes B and D.
5.3.4. Panastereo CSP1200 and SMART
There is an Automation Preset for Panastereo CSP1200 and SMART CP. For information, see the section on Predefined Formats in Chapter 7 in this guide.
56 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
5.3.5. Dolby
®
CP200 Operation
When the XD10 switches to digital, the normal signal paths are interrupted, and DTS signals are inserted just prior to the Dolby ® EQ cards, in effect taking over the cinema processor.
CP200: Program the automation optical default format to either “04” A-TYPE or “05” SR, whichever the film requires.
When the XD10 switches out of digital, the cinema processor is released and reverts to the format previously selected.
Unless modified, these cinema processors do not have a subwoofer input. In this case, DTS inserts the subwoofer signal post-fader; the fader or mute will not affect the subwoofer level.
Check diagrams for sub connection.
XD10 units with the digital option should connect to the digital input on the XD10P using a double shielded digital out cable. In this configuration, XD10 Ext2 is the format used for the XD10. (See the diagram for DTS XD10 P Digital on page B-3 of Appendix B, Cinema Processor Interface Wiring
Diagrams.)
XD10 units without the digital option should connect to the analog input on the XD10P using the standard 25-pin cable. In this configuration, XD10P Ext1 is the format used for the XD10. (See the diagram for DTS XD10 P Analog on page B-2 of Appendix B, Cinema Processor Interface Wiring
Diagrams.)
5.4. XD10 Calibration and Setup
This section describes procedures for XD10 audio level adjustment, timecode reader sync adjustment, sound performance verification, and fail-safe operation verification.
Complete checkout and adjustment of the XD10 requires (as a minimum) a multimeter, a SPL meter, and the DTS Demo film (which is part of the DTS Technician’s Kit).
The “B-Chain” calibration must be completed prior to adjustment of the XD10.
5.4.2. Setting and Adjusting Audio Output Levels
Channel setup tests and tones are pre-recorded onto the XD10 hard drive.
The audio playback level of the XD10’s built-in 1 kHz test tone has been fixed at 300mV RMS. This level should match the audio buss level on the cinema processor that the XD10 is connected to. Verify the buss level by consulting the manufacturer of your cinema processor.
The pink noise tests that are built into the XD10 are used only to make A-B comparisons to an alternate sound source, such as magnetic sound track or analog sound.
Be aware that some external pink noise generator cards used on some cinema processors— such as CP65 and CP55, which do not have internal pink noise generators—may have a level discrepancy of as much as 1.5 dB. For this reason the 1 kHz test tone is used for setting the
XD10 audio output levels.
57 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
The XD10 contains several built-in audio tests described in Section 7.2.2. They can be accessed through the following menu path: Setup → Audio → Audio Tests. Level adjustment audio tests for SPL calibration are described in Section 7.2.1, which can be accessed through the following menu path: Setup
→ Audio → Level Adjustment.
The Level Adjustment menu provides two choices:
Reference Tone: This will play 1K tone @ 300mV RMS on all channels. The level can be adjusted between +6.4 to -6.2 dB using the up and down arrow buttons.
Pink Noise: The input buss level for most cinema processors is 300mV input, so in most cases it will be unnecessary to make any adjustments to the XD10 output level. When the level is set at +0.00 dB, the XD10 output is at 300mV.
However, if necessary, each channel can be selected and adjusted individually using the arrow navigation buttons. The up and down arrows buttons will adjust the levels from +6.4 to -6.2 dB. The left and right arrow buttons will move back and forth among the channels.
When Pink Noise is selected, it will automatically start to play on the first channel
(Left). This will be indicated on the status display screen. The blue DTS playback
LED will also illuminate, indicating that Pink Noise is playing.
To adjust SPL settings, do the following:
1. Confirm that all amplifiers are on, mute is off, and masking and curtains are opened.
2. Before setting levels, confirm that SPL settings are completed on the cinema processor according to their recommendations. When setting levels, the cinema processor should be set to calibration level. In most cases, this is with the fader set to “7”.
3. With a good SPL meter, set the SPL levels according to the chart below. Note that SPL readings should be measured un-weighted, or C-weighted, with the meter set to slow, and the proper level setting of the subwoofer should be calibrated with an RTA.

Any change made in either Reference Tone or Pink Noise will affect the other. For example, if you change the level of Reference Tone to +1.0 on Ch1, when you select Ch1 in the Pink
Noise test section, it, will also be at +1.0.

XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
5.4.3. A Note about DTS Subwoofer Output
The XD10 subwoofer output level ranges from 20 Hz to 80 Hz and 20 Hz to 120 Hz (Coherent
Acoustics format), up to 27 dB above reference (85 dB).
Check your subwoofer’s specifications to avoid damage to the speaker.
If a subwoofer is driven below its cutoff frequency, its driver(s) may become unloaded. When unloaded, the voice coil can travel outside of the magnet’s gap, overheating and/or causing mechanical damage to the speaker. A high pass filter should be installed on speakers with high cutoff frequencies.
Contact your speaker manufacturer for more information.
5.4.3.1. Subwoofer Signal in the Surround Channels
The subwoofer signal is derived by filtering the surround signals from 80 Hz and below, and then putting this signal onto its own “subwoofer” output on the XD10.
You can verify this while performing a B-chain alignment of a theater as follows:
1. Play the internal pink noise generator Subwoofer test. (Refer to Section 7.2.2, Audio Tests, in
Chapter 7, System Setup Menus, in this guide.)
2. Turn off the subwoofer speaker and look at the pattern on the RTA.
You’ll see a dramatic roll-off at 80 Hz. It is normal to see DTS subwoofer pink noise, above 80
Hz, in the surround speakers and amps.

XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
5.5. Timecode Reader Sync Adjustment
This adjustment is easily performed using the numbered leader in front of the DTS Demo Reel. (The demo reel is supplied with the DTS Technician’s Kit, which can be purchased from any DTS dealer.)
See the steps (below on this page).
If you do not have a demo reel, the delay can be calculated by counting the number of picture frames from the DTS reader head red LED (lens) to the projector’s picture (“film”) aperture. Multiply the result by 1.25 and subtract 1. Round the resulting number to the closest ¼ (0.25). Set the OFFSET value in the XD10 timecode menu (“TC Reader Offset”) to this number.
Example: 27 frames x 1.25 = 33.75
33.75 - 1 = 32.75
Set the OFFSET to 32.75
Remember: When using the counting frames method, frames are counted from the timecode reader lens to the picture aperture.

Figure 3. DTS Timecode Reader Head, Threading
5.5.1. Procedure Using Demo Reel
1.
The Demo Reel has a specially printed leader for setting the timecode head offset.
Using the numbered leader, put the start mark 00 at the reader’s lens (red LED) and thread the film through the projector as normal.
2. After threading, look at the film and read the number at the projector’s sound head. This is the
OFFSET value and that number should be entered into the XD10 timecode offset menu (“TC
Reader Offset”).
Important: Make the same size film loops inside the projector when measuring offset as when running a movie. Failure to do so will result in improper sync when the movie runs in DTS
Digital mode. For two-projector houses, the reader at each projector must have the same
OFFSET value.

2. Timecode Printing Offset for 35MM and 70MM Film.
Information on the delay setting for special venues is available in Appendix K: Tech Notes. There are two pages of information:
5.5.3.1. Verify Sound Performance
1. Thread the DTS Demo reel (Buzz and Bill) through the projector and DTS reader. Be sure the
XD10 is fully booted and ready to play. The soundtrack for Buzz and Bill is factory-loaded on the hard drive.
2. Start the projector. When the DTS Playback LED lights, verify that the XD10 automatically switches the cinema processor to the (DTS) Digital format. Verify that sound is heard in the monitor speaker. Open the porthole (if possible) and verify that sound is heard in the auditorium.
3. While still in the booth, verify that the XD10 front panel display shows the film title, serial number, reel number and running timecode. (Information in the display's fourth line is configurable by the user. For more information on selecting the type of information to display in
Line 4, see Chapter 1, Operating the XD10 Cinema Media Player, in this manual.)

• Line 2: Film serial number
• Line 3: Reel number and running time
• Line 4: Can be selected by user. This example displays the format, which is DTS.
•
4. Go into the theater while the Demo reel is playing. Verify sound is in-sync, sounds well balanced and has overall good digital sound quality.
If levels sound unbalanced, check the cinema processor’s output levels. Then be sure that the
XD10 output of 300mV RMS on all channels matches the buss level of your cinema processor.
The XD10 MUST match the cinema processor’s buss level. (The buss level of your cinema processor should be indicated in its manual or consult the manufacturer.)
5. If the theater has two projectors, repeat this procedure for Projector 2.
61 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
5.5.3.2. Check Automatic Fail-Safe (Default) Operation
This procedure will verify that, should the DTS timecode reader fail for any reason, the system will automatically switch to optical sound format.
1. While the demo film is running, block the timecode at the reader or unplug the 9-pin connector at the reader.
To block the timecode reader, insert a business card between the film and the lens of the DTS
Timecode Reader Head and keep it there for at least six seconds.
2. Verify that after 4 to 5 seconds of not seeing timecode, the DTS XD10 switches to the SR optical sound format.
There should not be a dramatic sound level difference when the cinema processor switches from digital to analog during dialog scenes. If there is a dramatic difference, check the cinema processor’s levels first, then check the XD10 levels, and test again.
Remember, the XD10 output level must match the cinema processor’s buss level.
3. Now, restore timecode and XD10 should automatically switch the cinema processor to the DTS digital format after about two seconds.
4. If a two-projector theater, repeat this procedure for Projector 2.

7.5.3. Fallback Format for Soundtrack
The Soundtrack Fallback menu is used to choose the “fallback” format selected by the XD10 when the
DTS soundtrack stops playing.
When XD10 starts playing in DTS playback, it pulses the cinema processor to the DTS format. When the XD10 stops playing in DTS playback—either due to loss of timecode, missing audio file, or another unexpected error—it pulses the cinema processor to switch to an optical format. In many cases, it switches to the SR optical format on the film, but this menu can be used to set it to different fallback formats.
The pulse to the DTS format occurs at the time that the DTS Playback light becomes illuminated, provided that the conditions of the format automation mode are met (See Section 7.5.4). The pulse to the fallback format occurs at the time the DTS Playback light goes off, and is dependent on the conditions of the Soundtrack Fallback mode, shown below.
The XD10 fallback format is always Nonsync (1) at the end of a feature film. The end of the film is defined as the last two minutes of the last reel of film for the feature.

Main Menu → Setup → Automation → Format → Fallback Format.
Options:
Automatic The fallback format is selected by the header information in the
DTS audio file that is playing. Possible definitions are SR, A, or
MONO. These definitions are intended to reflect the optical format on the film. Almost all DTS audio files will have SR defined as the fallback format. The XD10 pulses the SR (1) pin for the SR signal – not SR (2).
None
Others
There will be no format pulse when the DTS audio stops.
The fallback format will be the pin selected. The options that appear in the Soundtrack Fallback menu, shown above, are only those formats that are used for a pin definition.
If the fallback format is set to SR (1) and that pin is not defined as one of the format pins, then the XD10 will pulse the A format pin. If there is not an A format pin, then it will pulse the
MONO format pin.

XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
7.5.4. Automation Operating Mode
This menu allows the operating mode of the format switching to be set to one of three ways. The default setting is DTS-6D Emulation. The operating mode defines the conditions that need to be met for the XD10 to switch the CP to the DTS format. The operating mode applies only to format switching for film soundtrack playback. It does not affect format switching for the video playlists soundtrack.
Automation Mode
â–ş ( )DTS-6D Emulation
• ( )Auto-Switch
• ( )Preselect Mode
Exit Menus
Main Menu →Setup → Automation → Format → Operating Mode
Options:
DTS-6D Emulation The XD10 emulates the 6D. (See Section 7.5.4.1 for a detailed explanation.)
Auto-Switch The XD10 switches to DTS format only if it is in an optical format. (See Section 7.5.4.2 for a detailed explanation.)
Preselect Mode The automation system must select the DTS format. (See
7.5.4.3 for a detailed explanation.)
The XD10 pulses the CP to DTS format whenever it starts playing audio, regardless of the format previously selected from the automation system. When XD10 audio completes or is interrupted, the
XD10 pulses the fallback format. This format switching operation is the same as that of the DTS-6/6D products.
The XD10 also pulses the fallback format when the audio stops and pulses the nonsync format when the end of the feature is reached.
In the DTS-6D Emulation mode, the XD10 will not react to format changes in the cinema processor. If a projectionist—or the automation system—changes the format, the XD10 ignores this. The XD10 will not react or attempt to pulse the format back to DTS. However, when this happens, the blue DTS
Playback LED on the front panel will begin to blink. This is to alert the projectionist that DTS is playing, but the XD10 is not in DTS format.
94 Document #: 9301E692002.1
XD10 Cinema Media Player, Installation and Operating Guide Version 2.1
7.5.4.2. AutoSwitch (Optical Formats)
The XD10 pulses the cinema processor to the DTS format when it starts playing audio, provided that the automation system has already selected either DTS or any of the optical formats—Mono, A, SR
(1) or
SR (2). If any other format has been selected by the automation system, then the XD10 will not switch the cinema processor when audio starts.
If DTS format is selected by the automation system while the XD10 is NOT playing audio, then the
XD10 pulses the cinema processor to the SR (1) format—or A or mono, if SR (1) is not available.
If any of the optical formats—Mono, A, SR (1), or SR (2)—are selected while the XD10 is playing audio, then the XD10 ignores the selection and immediately sends a DTS format pulse to the cinema processor.
When the audio completes or is interrupted, the XD10 pulses the cinema processor to the assigned fallback format or nonsync if the end of the feature is reached. If the automation system selects a different format while the audio is playing (other than DTS or any optical format), the XD10 will not output the fallback pulse when the audio stops. This assures that the XD10 will not override the user’s automation choice.
7.5.4.3. Preselect Mode (SRD compatible)
This mode allows the automation system to have more control over format switching on the cinema processor. In this mode, the automation system must select the DTS format to activate XD10 automation.
The automation system should first pulse the DTS format before the XD10 audio starts playing. In response, the XD10 will immediately pulse the SR (1) format—or A or mono, if SR (1) is not available. The XD10 will pulse the DTS format upon playing the XD10 audio. The XD10 pulses the fallback format when the audio stops, or pulses the nonsync format if the end of the feature is reached.
The fallback pulse will not occur if the automation system switched formats before the XD10 audio stopped.

Language Setups
The Language Setups menu allows you to automate the soundtrack and/or CSS subtitle language using one or more input control pin(s). The following describes the use of the language setups:
1. Language Versions must be enabled to automate soundtrack.
2. Assign input pin 1 as “Lang Setup”. A low signal on this pin will then select the soundtrack and
CSS subtitle language defined by “Setup Input 1”. Alternately, input 2 and input 3 may be used for “Setup Input 2” and “Setup Input 3”, respectively. A low signal on any of these pins selects the corresponding language setup definition. This allows for a total of 4 possible language combinations (Default, and Setup 1-3) based on the input control signal. Only one language setup pin should be held low at a time.
3. Define the soundtrack and/or CSS subtitle language for the “Default” setup. This selects the language that will be used when none of the language setup input pins are held low.
4. Define the soundtrack and/or CSS subtitle language for any of the input pins that are assigned
“Lang Setup”. “Lang Setup 1-3” will be used for Pins 1-3, respectively,
5. The selected soundtrack language or subtitle language plays only if the content for that language has been loaded on the XD10. Each feature soundtrack dub is normally a separate set of discs. Also, each CSS subtitle language for a feature may be on separate discs. Check the disc label for the contents language.
6. When playing soundtrack or audio, the status display may be used to monitor which soundtrack and or subtitle language is playing.
To set the language setup, first select the submenu for “Default” or “Setup Input 1-3”
