What speakers work with the Creative Labs DDTS-100 Digital Decoder-Upto 7.1

what speakers do the Creative Labs DDTS-100 Digital Decoder-Upto 7.1 work with thanks

Unless the Digital 5500 speaker set has analog inputs it can't be used with the DDTS-100. You must connect the DDTS-100 to a speaker system through the analog outputs either from the main unit or the switchbox. I have not heard of any cables to convert analog audio into digital form so digital speakers can understand and play it.
The best speaker system? I have absolutely no idea dude. You must be the judge of that, if it is you who are going to listen to it. I like my S750 system but that is me. You have to read loads of info and reviews and preferably listen to them in a store if you can.

DDTS-100 digital decoder

I plan to buy and use the DDTS - 100 digital decoder with a
Klipsch 5.1 speaker system in the living room as a home theater for the time being.
Just wondering, is their a built in equalizer of any kind in the DDTS - 100 that
you can access with the remote or from the main device?
I have read all about the decoder, but so far unable to find anything indicating
that it has a mixer or eq to adjust the sound with.

Decoder DDTS-100 + digital out(audigy 2)via coaxial

hi, if i connect ddts-100 decoder with audigy 2 via digital out(coaxial), can i mix stereo sound to multichannel witch DTS 6 neo or Dolby Pro Logic II? and if i send via coaxial AC3(movie witch AC3 or music from winamp surround edition) sound ddts-100 recognize this signal and play at all channel?Message Edited by mariuszkom on 07-19-2007 10:41 PM

Yes and Yes. I've found that it sounds better though to simply copy the front channels to the rear, which neither of those matrix modes will do. Your best bet though is to get a sound card that does dolby digital li've encoding such as the auzentech xplosion or ht omega striker.

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

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.

Connectivity 5.1 to ddts-100

Can ne one help me? I got the decoder since last 20 days. Not getting the sound effects the way i wanted it. I m haivng philips 5.1 sonic edge sound card (psc605), and 5.1 inspire 5200 creative speakers and got new ddts-100. When i connect ddts-100 through my sound card i cant see LED of DOLBY and DTS fucntions on. I cant use or go the selection of DTS or DOLBY on decoder, even by pressing the appropriate switch on ddts-100. My motto for decoder is to play mp3 songs and music on PC. i dont want to run DVD or ne external sources with the decoder.. Well i can say.. with or without decoder sound effects stays normal. No change in sound effect. Well i m not sure, but i did analog connection and Coaxial connection with the pc. but still DTS and DOLBY function inactive on decoder. I can access movies , music, cinema modes from decoder selection.. but tat's no meaning to hear with that. I want DTS and DOLBY. Please advice me if there's ne extra cable needed or nething else must needed.. please specify exact thing to get these kind of setting on my decoder.

Ok, I will start from the beginning with the basics:
The DDTS-100 is a decoder. This means, it can only decode a signal and put it through to a speaker system. It is NOT an effect box, a soundcard, anything else than a decoder.
What do you get with the DDTS-100? The main unit, switchbox, cables.
How should you connect everything? You connect the switchbox to the main unit. Then, connect the soundcard's analog outputs to the switchbox. Then the speakers to the switchbox. Then any peripheral components such as DVD player, X-Box or the soundcard's digital out to the main unit.
Now what?
You have two settings on the switchbox. Why? Because as we have said before, most digital out soundcards can only produce 2 types of signals digitally. That is a PCM Stereo signal or an encoded data stream (either DD or DTS). If you play a stereo source such as an mp3 file and send it out as a pcm stereo signal you will only hear it from the left and right front speakers. So if you want to send discrete multi channel audio from your soundcard you have to use the analog output and set the switchbox to PC-mode. This effectively bypasses the DDTS-100 and plays the sounds directly from your soundcard to your speakers. However, if you have a dolby digital signal or a DTS signal coming from the computer, you can set the switchbox to Decoder-mode, the soundcard to SPDIF passthrough and digital out and the DDTS-100 will take the DD or DTS signal and send them to the corresponding speakers + light the DD or DTS on the main unit. Make sure to connect the soundcard with a coaxial cable, an analog output cannot send out encoded data streams. The DDTS-100 will decode the data information and send the sounds out to the correct channels. It will not do anything else. It is not made to do anything else. The best thing when listening to music and games is to do it in PC-mode using the analog outputs of the soundcard. You can, if you really really have to, play it in decoder mode and use either neo:6 or dolby prologic II on the main unit to upmix the stereo source.
AC-3 is not a music format. I doubt you will find any ac-3 encoded music files since mp3 or wma are the most common formats. Your best way of finding AC-3 material is on a DVD.
I think the best thing for you is to find out what the DDTS-100 is meant to do, and what it is not meant to do.

MW 550 5.1+ ddts 100+ audigy 2 zs. Help!

Hi, i have purchased recentley all of those things. Creative Megaworks 550 THX 5.1, Creative Decoder DDTS 100 and Creative Audigy 2 ZS, but i'm not really sure how to connect it... I have it connected by this way, but i only have sound from front speaker(2 channel):
Audigy 2 ZS to DDTS 100- digital out(audigy 2) to coaxial (on ddts 100)
DDTS 100 to Megaworks 550- three cables(don't know the name-green, black and orange) to the speaker system.
But, with this configuration, the sound only comes from the 2 front speaker and the sub woofer. Without the ddts 00 and digital output(from audigy 2), the sound is allright. What do i need to do?
Thank you

dragao,
Check the following thread first, as it covers the same topic (pretty much):

Because you have the DDTS-100 decoder, you can use analog connectors for music and games, the decoder has enough inputs to do that.

Connecting DDTS-100 and Audigy 2 ZS

Hello!
I have some problems with DDTS-100. My systen curently is: Creative S750, DDTS-100 and Audigy 2 ZS. I can't understand how this DDTS-100 is working. I try to coneect Audigy2 ZS to DDTS using coaxial connection, but when I done this DDTS sound only in Stereo mode. Is it OK. I can't tur on Dolby and DTS on it. Then I try to connect some radio uzing Anolaog input. When I uze Analog input I can Chose betven Stereo Dolby and DTS, But still I cant Switch on Dolby digital or differnet sound modes. And if I tur On Dolby or NEO6 then I don't hera sound from side speakers . I'm wery upsad. I can't Understand how this DDTS-100 is working...
Pls give me some advice...
Regards,
RaimizA

Analog output on the soundcard --> DDTS-100 switchbox
Switchbox --> DDTS-100 main unit
Switchbox --> Speakers
Digital out on the soundcard --> Coaxial input on the DDTS-100 main unit
The digital output on the soundblaster can ONLY SEND OUT EITHER A PCM STEREO SIGNAL OR AN ENCODED DATA STREAM (AC-3). In order to make the DDTS-100 decode the data stream correctly you MUST have the software set to SPDIF passthrough and also have that set in the Audio HQ or the Audio console. Put the switchbox to decoder mode. The only way to light up the lights of the DTS and Dolby Digital is to feed the main unit with an encoded data stream of those sound formats. If you try to play anything and put it through the digital out that is not DTS or DD you are going to get... Stereo.
In order to get sound from the side speakers you must first set the switch on the back of the DDTS-100 main unit to 6.1/7.1 and set the upmix to 5.1-->7.1 or 6.1-->7.1 (depending on the source) on the main volume controller of the S750.

Connecting creative inspire 6600 to the ddts-100 decoder

ok so i was sedused by the idea of getting a ddts-100 to my inspire 6600 speakers,but the fact is i need to know some information:
the first thing is:will i be able to connect my speakers to the decoder and then to the soundcard?
my speakers have only RCA jacks for the satellites to connect them to the amp,and the amp have 3 assebled wires,3.5mm ones...my soundcard have also 3 connectors for the speakers,no digital output or optical,..only 3 connectors for the 3.5mm...so will i be able to connect it and then will it be able to reproduce sound like it was doing before?
2-the decoder says it can decode dolby digital ex,dts es,i don't know if i am saying this right but,sometimes we say decoding in 24bits/96khz .....its the dvd quality right? then will the decoder DECODE the dvd source in 24bits/96khz or is it the job of the soundcard?
3-will the decoder improve the listening experience in quality or surround?in case of dvd playing i know it would,but in case of listening to music?

shin8,
Are you getting proper output if you use the "TEST" button on the remote control?

Need help with deciding digital options... creative ddts-100, ddts-610, x-fi i/o cons

I think i have narrowed down my options for upgrading my computer audio... except i am not sure which way to go and would like some help or ti
ps.
... thanks.
first off i mainly game and listen to music on the pc or listen to the music while gaming... i currently have the logitech z5300e speaker system, creative labs x-fi fatalty pro gamer sound card... i wanted to purchase a receiver to go digital except thats a bit too much for me right now, if i was to get a receiver it would be for my home theater. so i looked around and came up with a couple alternati'ves, except i am not sure if these options will work with what i have now...
?st option, i could go along with getting a creative labs inspire digital 5500 speaker system because that sytem comes with a decoder box that creative labs no longer makes... this decoder box has 2 optical in, coax in, also has a adaoter that connects the speakers to the decoder box as well... runs around 200.00 dollars?2nd option, i found on creatives website a new decoder called the dts-60 except this option would require a receiver because this newer model does not come with the speaker adapter as the dts-00 does... but since i am going to upgrade my home theater receiver i would have that one to use with the coax connections. this option runs 00.00 dollars?3rd option, i? found on creatives website a x-fi i/o console so far from what i read it works with my sound card ... i am still not sure if i can just connect the speaker cable to the console but this would run 80.00?4th option , on there website there is also, a dribe bay x-fi i/o upgrade. not sure if it will work with my soundcard but i was thinking it may be an option to use cause the card i have has built in decoders i think..
??what would you guys do ?

dont buy creative ...no support from them

Difference between the Creative Decoder DDTS-100 & Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-

I've had the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5. System for years now for my PC with a Sound Blaster card, and I just got a MacBook.
http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/promedia-ultra-5-.aspx
I've asked on the Klipsch message board about a digital decoder. I was recommended the Creative Decoder DDTS-00
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=36&product=9468
but I also found the Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-60 for less money, any idea what the difference between the two would be?
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=6&product=49

No, for the reason mentionned in the stickies. But since you seems not knowing much on digital sound let me explain.
Digital means it's coded with 0 and , and therefor only cable is sufficient. You might know there is many sound formats for home cinema, like Dolby Digital and DTS. And a digital decoder need to be input a compatible sound stream to be able to decode it. Which means the soundcard MUST be able to convert it's output sound in one receiver compatible format.
Creative cards cannot do this kind of thing.
Another thing: current home theater sound format are limited to 6. (DD-EX and DTS-ES). So you would not be able to achieve more than 6..
THX isn't a sound format, only a certification. The THX calibrator is a must have component to correctly calibrate your speakers to enhance you sound experience.
If you need to have TRUE surround up to 7. channels you don't need to use digital connection because it's simply useless.

Creative Decoder DDTS 100,

Hello,
I.m using a creative decoder DDTS 100. When i switch on the decoder i set the volume, in which mode it should be, the volume of center and rear speakers. My problem over here when i switch off and switch on the decoder it comes to the default setting. What i want is my settings needed to be saved each time time i switch off and should come up with the same setting when i power on. Please provide me with a solution for this.
Thank you.

Creative Decoder DDTS-100 parts list ??

'Creative Decoder DDTS-100 parts list mspecifially the value for the capacitor "C06 "? this one is at the front of the unit.
or if any one still has a working DDTS-100, and they don't mind taking it apart to read the value of this cap, that would also work as well.
also, maybe? some one could also help me with the issue i have. regardless of the source, both headphone jacks on the front work as they should, the issue is with the audio outputs on the back, center/sub, rears , and the front right, no sound output, the front left, has sound output but it is very faint only can be heard when all volumes are set to max. could this be releated to the possible missing capacitor, C06 ? or could this be related to something internal, like one of the wire connectors that connect each board to each other ?
ANY help would be awesome, thanks :-)
