A theater may also desire to change versions throughout the day. In the XD10, multiple versions of a film may be copied onto the hard drive. Since all of the versions are assigned the same serial number, there needs to be additional information given to the XD10 to select which version should be played.

2.3.1.2. Dolby CP45, CP55, CP65, CP500, CP650, UltraStereo JS Series, and SMART Operation The DTS XD10 will automatically pulse the audio processor to the digital format when it starts to play a digital sound track. Whenever the XD10 drops out of digital, a pulse will be sent to switch the audio processor back to optical format.
Page 53: Installation Procedures
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.
Page 54: Rack Mount Considerations
XD10 Digital Playback System, Installation and Operating Guide Version 1.0 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. 4.

Consult the manual for your CP to determine the input buss level, or contact the manufacturer. Use the procedure below to verify that the XD10 is set to the correct output level or to make any necessary changes.
Page 60: Verifying Audio Levels
Version 1.0 3.2.1. Verifying Audio Levels 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, that do not have internal pink noise generators) may have a level discrepancy of as much as 1.5dB.
Page 61: A Note About Dts Subwoofer Output
The mono surround output is a mix of the left and right surround signals. This “mono” signal is available ONLY on the mono surround output pin (pin 21) on the XD10's ANALOG OUT (CH 1-10) connector. 1. In theaters with only mono surrounds, select the left surround pink noise and adjust for 76 dBC SPL in the theater.
Page 62: Verifying Operation
5. While still in the booth, verify the XD10 DTS Playback LED (blue) is lighted and that the LCD screen displays the film title, Serial number, Reel number, and running timecode.
Page 63: Check Automatic Fail-Safe (Default) Operation
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 dialogue scenes.

To adjust the overall sound level in the theater, adjust the main fader on the cinema processor. Be sure the soundtrack was loaded for the film you are playing. Feel free to contact DTS Post Production for help.
Page 74: Film Not In Sync Or Doesn't Sound Right
As a last resort, force the unit to play in optical mode. Turn off the DTS XD10 and verify that the cinema processor switches to optical. If it does not, adjust manually. Contact your DTS Theater Technician.
Page 75: Guide For A Seamless Change-Over
This is due to the fact 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.
