Creative inspire 6700 with DDTS-100 ??

Hi there,?I have the creative inspire 6700 speaker system connected to my PC (audigy2 audiocard) andit works fine. Then i saw the DDTS-100 decoder on the website and it looks like the thing i need.So, it's possible to connect my 6700 system to the DDTS 100 ?and then i can use a digital in/out to the DDTS system and then it will work ?(i have a dvd player that i want to connect)?Greetz,...

I am sorry but i am new to these forums and i am actually looking for help myself. I have the creative 6. 6700 speaker system and just today dropped and damaged the casing to one of the sattelite speakers. I have searched the internet to see if i can get another speaker or another set. Can you help me. Im in Scotland in the uk but if there is a place i could contact to buy from that you know i would appreciate it. i will see if i can help you soon.
Thanks.

Creative inspire 6700 (trouble with the sub)

I have Creative inspire 6700, for some weeks ago they stoped working, the sub stopeded making bass.
I dont know whats wrong. I have never treated them badly. When i turned the speaker system off and on again, it was bass in sec. then it disappered again. I have had them in 3 years i think and I dont know whats wrong.
Can anybody help, and tell me what to do!
And do I have a guarantee?

robin882,
Customer Support should be your contact point if you need assistance with the faulty product. Also, if you already had it for 3 years, generally I believe your warranty are had already cease but you can still contact Customer Support and they should be able to advice.
What you can try at the moment is testing the speaker on another system and see if the same thing happen.

Creative inspire 5300 5.1 with DDTS-100

Hello i'musing these set of speakers for 2.6 years and now decide tobuy decoder DDTS-100 but there is a problem ca't connect them and creative labs are saying this decoder is compatible with all speakers from creative !!!
Any information how to connect will be wellcome many thanks
Filipe Valente

Just connect them using your speaker audio cable from the decoder audio outputs jack to the speaker system audio inputs jack. The decoder user guide should also cover some simple guide for connection too which you can refer to.

Creative Inspire 6700 Failed

This is a continuation of the post that is now in the read-only forums.
David Drury - Having contact the Creative support they have finally informed that that in March I MIGHT be able to buy a replacement board for my broken 6700 which just stopped working one day, for 60 euros. That's what it would cost to buy a new system from the link that appears below.
Here is Creative's direct repsonse:
"at present we have no out of warranty repair option which would allow me to sell you a subwoofer. This however should be possible in March although I can't guarantee it. In the past subwoofers have cost in the region of EUR60."
I am very disappointed Creative. This is not an isolated incident and that fact that my product is out of warranty seems irrelevant. It is no longer fit for the purpose for which it was designed. Given the number of compaints about this system on this and the read-only forum I would have expected a repair FOC.
I shall not be buying another of these systems and my impression of Creative has totally changed as a result of this incident.

UserMessage riz NewbiePosts: 2I turned on my speakers today and noticed the sound has completely died. The remote no longer lights up and the only time i get the slightest hint of sound is when I remove the transformer power lead and plug it back in. It's like the surge brings the amp back to life for a breaf second, turn the level up and it gets quieter? It was working fine the day before but today no play.Any suggestions, can I buy just a replacement box if the amp has gone, and what is the warranty on these? Thanks in advance
Posted:25/10/2005 12:55:06 creativemedd NewbiePosts: 3I have had the same problem. I have tested the remote volume/bass control on a friend's system and it works so it's something to do with the electronics on the board inside the bass speaker cabinet. I have taken this apart (my system's out of warranty) and can find nothing that look's wrong. I'm sure that a single component has broken and am loathed to buy a new system as all of the speakers, etc work. Can anybody suggest anything.

Posted:28/10/2005 11:55:09 simon_mcnair JuniorPosts: 20 simon_mcnair is from United Kingdom http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...mg/flags/8.gif I bought an inspire 6700 off ebay. When I plug it in nothing happens. I took out the amplifier board and found that a transistor was blown, and that it had taken a resistor with it. I've managed to get the transistor details, but the resistor is a charred heap. I was hoping that someone could either provide me with a circuit diagram so that I can identify the value of resistor R0, or if you could tell me what the value should be.Any extreme close ups of the circuitboard would be sufficient for me to get the colours of the resistor.cheersSimon

It specifically stated that they did not know if it was working. It's a gamble you take I guess. It is fixable if I can find out the value of the resistor I should be ok. I paid ?35 inc delivery

I have the Inspire 7700 and my subwoofer just stopped working as well. Right in the middle of a song. The volume was only half way on the remote. Everything else works fine. Guess I'll have to buy a different brand too since mine is out of warranty I think.

Upconvert Stereo to Five Channel with DDTS-100?

I'm using the DDTS-100 to share a speaker system between Windows Media Center and a Dolby Digital enabled high definition DirecTV DVR. I don't find any control that allows you to upconvert a standard two channel audio source to a five channel system. On Windows media players, this is a standard feature. In Windows Media Player they call this "SRS Wow". On the Creative Audigy setup they call this CMSS. This is probably the single most basic feature I would expect any Dolby decoder to offer, as a way to offer a cheap expansion of low quality sound sources, to at least fill all the speakers with some kind of sound balance.
Is there any way to get the DDTS-100 to expand a two channel source to five channel? I tried all of the modes for output, and none of them did this. Quite bizarrely, there is a mode that lets you upconvert a five channel system to six channel. How they could have remembered to implement something that esoteric but have forgotten to implement a two to five channel conversion (which would benefit about 95% of the potential market for the product) is strange.

It appears that the Neo:6 setting is working well on most two channel content to upconvert to five channels. But it just by bad luck happens that the content I was originally using (a Spanish language channel 429 on DirecTV) does *not* upconvert to five channel but remains on two channels. Would this indicate the source is mono rather than stereo? Will Neo:6 only upconvert two channels to five and have no effect at all on a mono source?

I-Trigue L3500 with DDTS-100

Can I combine DDTS-100 with speaker I-Trigue L3500?

Vvien,
The DDTS-100 speakers are meant for use with 5.1 / 6.1 / 7.1 speakers. If you're connecting from a soundcard, connecting analog speakers would offer no benefits. It is possible though, but you'll only be using one of the connections that is available to go to speakers, but it's set up to output sound for 5.1 speaker (or more).

Centre channel problem with DDTS-100

I have a set of Gigaworks s750 speakers connected to my PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 via the DDTS-100 decoder; up until yesterday this was all working fine. Having moved some of the gear around to accomodate my new desk, I plugged everything back in and found that the sound from the front centre channel is muffled and/or quieter than the other channels.
The speakers themselves don't seem to be the problem as the PC (which is connected via the switch box included with the decoder) sounds fine but the problem persists with both the PS3 and X360.
My first thought was that I'd pulled one of the cables loose while rearranging the furniture but I've re-plugged everything in several times since with no joy. I've also tried changing the spdif cables and switching the sockets around, as well as removing the switch box and plugging the speakers directly into the decoder but nothing made any difference.
Has anyone ever encountered anything like this before and/or could offer any suggestions?
Any advice would be much appreceated.

I finnaly found out my problem
The buzz came out from my coax cable from my DVD. My DVD player was probably inducing 60Hz on the coax output.
I switched to the optical output and no more buzz.
I'll need to buy a new toslink cable to plug my x-box on the optical input #2
Also I pluged my TV audio out in my st analog input, it also induced a 60 Hz on my DDTS-100. The decoder does not seem to filter out electric noises.
I'm pretty happy to have found out my problem but I'm very dispointed that the DDTS-100 does not filter any electric noises.

Help.. What sound card to go with ddts 100??

HI everyone,?I just bought my samsung lcd tv and i am very anxious to get the ddts-100. But the problem now is: What sound card should i get? Get a Xi-Fi Extreme Music or just a cheaper soundcard will do since the decoding will be done by the decoder. Can anyone advise on this? I hope to spend lesser on the sound card but if it is really needed then i will get good one. Thanks.
Regards,Kekin

Bear in mind the DDTS-100 will only decode Dolby and DTS (and their varieties). That is, it will happily decode the surround from a dvd (assuming your soundcard and software passes it over the digital) but it will only get stereo when gaming or using CMSS for music.
So, the DDTS-100 is a great partner to a standalone dvd player, games console, and whatever else you have hooked up to the tv. It will also play nice when watching dvds on the pc. It has a good upmixer for music and stereo tv too. If thats roughly what you had planned then it will fit that role nicely. Its also more convenient than switching manually over to the pc (with the switcher box) when you want to use it instead of the decoder.
If you were planning to do everything on the pc then it may be a bit pointless as your soundcard and software could do it all instead. Also, i suspect the quality will be better from a decent X-Fi than the DDTS-100 but havent got around to doing a comparison yet.

Help connect X-fi Elite Pro with DDTS-100 and Gigaworks s750

Hi,
I purchased a brand new Gigaworks s750 speakers system, DDTS-100 decoder and X-fi Elite Pro. I connected the DDTS-100 and Elite Pro using Optical Fibre output from the audio console of X-fi Elite Pro to the optical digital input of DDTS-100. With the cables supplied with s750, I connected it to the Decoder DDTS-100. The problem is I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers and the front speakers. Only the centre speakers and the side speakers are producing sound. I could hear loud hissing sound and very very low volume of the music from the front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. I can hear good quality sound from the centre speakers and average quality sound from the side speakers. What could possibly have gone wrong with my setup ? Somebody please help me. Thanx in advance.

Hi Richie,
Thanq for your response. But unlike what you have mentioned, ("what may be happining is the soundcard is decoding the signal and then the ddts is trying to decode it with disatrous results"), In my setup the signal is not getting decoded two times, once by Soundcard and once by the DDTS-100. As I have mentioned that I am taking out an Optical Signal from the sound card to the DDTS-100, the signal comming out from the sound card to the DDTS is Encoded signal only. So there doesnt arise a chance that the signal is getting decoded twice. Can you think of any other reason why my setup is not working? Please let me know.
regards,
Rahul M

Hum problem with DDTS-100 with Klipsch Promedia 5.1

I have a problem with me decoder DDTS-100 since the beginning. I use it with Promedia 5.1 Klipsch kit.
When I use digital sources either optical or coax, when my decoder does'nt receive any signal from my DVD or X-box, I am earing a big hum coming out from my speakers. And then when my DDTS-100 receive a digital signal the hum disapeer.
I am not earing the hum when I use the analog input.
I am very disapointed about this bug because when the volume is high I am worried about my Klipsch kit.
Thanks in advance

Annoying Buzzing with DDTS-100

Hi,
I have had a set of T-7900 speakers for about 6 months now and I've has no problems with them. They were being used in conjunction with an Audigy 2 ZS.
I decided to purchase the DDTS-100 decoder for my other devices to use the speakers. But when I have it all setup on the speakers on there is a loud buzzing sound. For those of you who have the DDTS-100 you will know you can switch between PC and source. When I flick it to decoder the buzzing stops.
Any ideas what's causing this?

i have the xfi xtreame music and the g500 get great 5. sound on movies and games.dont need anyting else hope this hel
ps.

Dolby Digital with DDTS-100

Hi,
I recently just got HDTV and connected it to my DDTS-100 (which is connected to the Gigaworks S750). However, all channels which have 5.1 surround sound (confirmed with cable company - doesn't mean they aren't lieing/don't know what they're talking about) make the the DDTS-100 illuminate the Dolby Digital light (as expected), but also the "Stereo" light (making me think I'm only getting a 2.1 signal). The end result is that I only get sound out of the sub, FL and FR. If I use any of the matrix modes I "lose" all the voices (i.e. apparently no centre channel decoded).
I've tried hooking up the Gigaworks S750 directly to my 7.1 soundcard and all speakers work fine. I've also tried every combination of upmixing available on both the DDTS-100 and the Gigaworks S750. I've also tried using Optical and Coaxial sources from the HDTV box. I also have a GameCube which appears to work perfectly fine on the Pro-Logic mode.
Is there something special I need to do with the DDTS-100? Any way of confirming that the signal is in fact 5.1

plz reply

GigaWorks S750 with DDTS-100 Decoder - Center/Sub channel not working.

I have the S750 with the DDTS decoder and everything was working fine until the other day. I have tested several times and from what I can tell there is no signal being sent from the sub to the decoder from the Center/Sub channel wire (S750 sub) to the decoder. Plugging the center speaker wire into the left speaker jack will produce a test signal so I know it is not the speaker. Seems the sub has gone out along with the center channel. I checked the fuse and all is well. Please help...

Are you getting proper output if you use the "TEST" button on the remote control?

Connection DTT3500 Digital with DDTS-100. Pls Help me.

I want to connect my speakers (DTT3500) with the decorder DDTS-00. How to connect them and how to setup my system to play DTS. Please analyze. The soundcard is Audigy 2 ZS.
Thank you in advance,
Ilias

Unless I am terribly misinformed those speakers uses a digital connection. So there is no way to connect them to the DDTS unless they also accept analogue connections.
Though, please don't take my word for it since there might be some magical converter but I have never heard of such a thing.

Creative Inspire 6700 6.1 speaker cables

Hello,
I'm asking help if Creative could produce me a 10 meter version of the cables hilighted in the image bellow.The original ones are just 2 meters long and I need it in a bigger version.
Is it possible to produce it and send to me by mail? I'm willing to support the costs of production and shipping.
Thanks in advance.
Jorge Lopes

Thanks for the information!
I was really looking for an email address I could use asking this precise issue. Could you tell me? Since my product is discontinued I don't have any kind of direct contact, only premade answers. Additionaly they redirect us to the forums in search of answers.
Thanks in advance.
Jorge
Edit: I've managed to find a webpage with a form, that I filled with my question, this form associated with Creative shop.
I'll wait for they're answer.
In the mine while if you guys could check that out too, I would be very grateful!
Thanks.
