3) Electrical noise/grounding problems. One cause it the projector’s chassis not being earth grounded. 4) DTS equipment problem. This is caused by either the reader or the player. If another reader can be borrowed from a working screen, try swapping. - Page 19 DTS chassis are earth grounded. • The current reader cables (from the DTS factory) have a shield wire shrink-wrapped to the cable’s jacket, on the reader end. Cut the shrink-wrap away and connect the wire to one of the screws that hold the reader to its bracket.
- Page 20 Connect the scope probe to Pin 1 and the scope ground to Pin 6. Connect option 2 If using the “DTS timecode reader to oscilloscope adapter” (DTS P/N D929), simply disconnect the timecode cable from the reader head. Connect the adapter to the reader head (male DB9) and connect the timecode cable to the other end of the adapter (female DB9).
