DDTS-100 and S750 Installation / Test Mode Question

I got a DDTS-100 decoder for Xmas and just bought the gigaworks S750's yesterday to replace my old DTT-3500. I plugged the decoder and sub for S750 into the wall and hooked the two up via the 7.1 cable. I then plugged the front and centre speakers into the sub. I'm not going to set up the side and rear speakers for a couple of days as I'm painting. Anyways, I then powered on the sub (green light comes on) and the decoder (it lights up fine). The decoder is set to 5.1. There are no other inputs hooked into the decoder. Then using the remote I hit test mode, the decoder goes in to test mode but I get nothing out of the speakers. I've cranked the volume way up and still get nothing. Do I have to plug all seven speakers in for test mode to work? Do I have to have an analog or optical input, or should test mode just work by itself. Do I have to plug in the little control centre which comes with the S750's, I didn't bother because I have the decoder.
Any ideas on why I'm not getting any sound? Any other suggestions of things to try?
Thx.

Thx, that resolved the issue, I didn't think I'd need it because I had the decoder which basically does the same thing.
One question about the upmix. Because I am using the DDTS-100 with the gigaworks S750's, does it make more sense to enable the upmix through the control centre for the speakers or through the DDTS-750. Would it make more sense to use the S750 as there are a couple of different upmix modes there?
Also, with the volume control for the speakers, should I just set the volume on the Control Centre which came with the speakers to a level such as 75% and then use the DDTS-100 to control the volume levels after that, or should I crank the Control Centre up higher?
Thx.

DDTS 100 And Creative 6060 TEST SIGNAL!! Please Help...

Hi to everyone..
Just a simple question..
I got a DDTS 100 Ampliefier And A Pair of Creative 6060 speakers..
When i try the "TEST" mode on the DDTS100 all the speakers play the sound correctly , except
the subwoofer (it don't play the typical deep bass sound that subwoofer plays)
and i've noticed that when the led on the DDTS il lit (on the sub led) , the center speaker and the subwoofer play the test sound at the same time.
The thing that i not understand is why the sub emits the same sound as (for example) the front left
speaker (the "hiss" test sound)
Any hint ?
PS : how can i check if the subwoofer works correctly? i've checked all the connection and they are right...
Thanks to everyone!!

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.

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.

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.

PS2, Xbox & GameCube + DDTS - 100 and ..

I have my consoles connected with DDTS - 100 and looking for new and cheap 5.1 surround sound speaker system. I doubt between Creative Inspire T5400 (100 ? in Croatia) and P5800 (70 ?) or something other in that price range. Please, give me some advices and recomendations... thx

Just thought I'd jump in and say:
1). Turn on Xbox with no disc in the drive.
2). Go to the 'Settings' menu.
3). Select the 'Audio' menu.
4). There should be an option for Mono, Stereo and Dolby Digital <---Select Dolby Digital.
5). Pop a game in (Halo works best for this ) and enjoy!
Note that some people I know (including myself) have found that the rear speaker come out a bit quiet compared to the front speakers when playing Xbox, so you may need to adjust your speaker set accordingly.
Hope this helps, Kaya.

DDTS-100 and Divx/Xvid files

Does the DDTS-100 have problems with DivX/Xvid files that are encoded with AC3?
Power DVD will pick up a true DD signal for a DVD, but if i convert to avi (divx) with the ac3 sound, it only uses Pro Logic II/Neo6. There isn't even the option in Power DVD to use spdif when playing an ac3 divx file.
Who here has the DDTS-100 and can play AC3 divx files fine with TRUE DOLBY DIGITAL?
Cheers.

Well this went down like a lead balloon.
If anyone else finds this, a solution is to convert the divx file to dvd vob files. The DDTS-100 will pick up the true digital signal if they are vob files, converted from divx with AC3 sound.
I use 'VSO divxtodvd', you can google a link.

DDTS-100 and GigaWorks S-750

Hi there, i bought the DDTS-100 to install on my pc with 7.1 GW-S750. 7.1 system is connected on a audigy 2 platinum with frontal bay that has the optical and coaxial connections. The audigy is 6.1 but i use the 7.1 system as a 5.1 system. Ok then the definitions when seeing a DVD video with dolby digital and DTS are ( IN WINDVD7 ) audio:spdif out enable, the cable is the optic that goes from the front bay to the decoder, and puff there is the sound digital. Now if i change the switch in the box of the decoder to "PC audio" instead of "DECODER", and change the definition in windvd7 to analog audio card instead of spdif out and select a 5.1 system and select the DTS audio in DVD-VIDEO menu there is the puff again, here it is the dolby and DTS sound again ..voice coming on center speaker, some scenes back sounds are only there, everything is the same. So here is the question i guess i dont need the Decoder for PC use.. because the audigy decodes alone the digital sound (dts or dolbydigital) and sends the sound to speakers in the same way.. is the quality diferent by being decoded by the decoder instead of the audigy itself with windvd?

DDTS-100 and Apple Powerbook

My question is, since Apple PowerBook has a normal stereo output (for headphones, stereo speakers, etc.), would I be able to connect it with DDTS-100?
I have Creative Inspire 5300 (5.1 speakers) and I'd like to up-mix all content that will be playbacked on my PowerBook (music, movies...), but I don't know if PB and DDTS-100 connection is possible (couldn't find any back image of the decoder). I saw a switch box, but I'm not sure if that is packed together with the decoder, which looked promising and I think that it would work as I want it to.
So, if anyone could tell me which cable do I need to connect those two (I don't know all those names, RCA, 3.5 mm, whatever it's all called) and if it will all work as I imagined, I'd be very satisfied, because I'm planning to buy DDTS-100 (since PB has only stereo ouput and I don't want to give up surround sound).
I hope someone can understand what I want, if not... well, guess I'll have to try harder.

danijelr5,
Yes it should be able to work fine. You can find the user guide for the DDTS100 via here. The guide have those images you need. The cable you will need is the minijack to dual rca cable.

DDTS-100 and DTT2500 speakers

Hi,My amp/decoder of my DTT2500 is broken and I would like to know if it is possible to replace it with a DDTS-100?

Hi!
What a shame, I had been searching for that exact information just to see that it is not possible. My DTT2500 analogue inputs are broken down but I do not want to replace (also) my speakers set, I will have to keep on with only the digital input and forget to listen DVD-Audio :-(
Thanks for the information anyway :-)
Regards.

DDTS 100 and stereo surround.

Hi.
I recently bought the DDTS 100 Decoder and I was wondering if I can have a stereo surround output (the two stereo channels from both front and rear speakers) from a stereo source via its analog inputs (such as an mp3 player) or another digital source via the coaxial input (ex. Boss GT6 Guitar multieffects processor).

No, Im afraid the ddts-100 lacks this feature.

Ddts-100 and inspire p5800

are the creative inspire p5800 speaker system compatible with the ddts-100 decoder?
Is the decoder connectable to the K|i|s|s dp-1000 DVD Player?

Gr33nC0d3r,
Yes, the speaker is compatible with the DDTS-100 decoder. Also, you should be able to connect to the decoder without problems since the decoder have coaxial/optical input which most DVD player should have. What type of output connector does your DVD player have?

Exchange 2013 and exchange 2007 mixed mode questions

I made my first attempt at migrating from 2007 to 2013 but ran into some problems. My 2013 CAS and MB servers are successfully installed along with their prerequisites (AD entries, external and internal DNS is active or ready to be, FW rules etc..). I'm
at this point here in the Microsoft plan..
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/exdeploy2013/PrintChecklist?state=2284-W-CQCkAgIAQACACEEAAQAAAA~~
"Perform the switch over"
My questions are about behavior.
1. When I have everything setup correctly and DNS and the SCP's changed, the Webmail OWA site for all users will be the 2013 login interface, and after logging in will my 2007 users then see the 2007 OWA interface on my old CAS?, or will they access their
2007 MB using the 2013 interface?
2. There is a "backend imap4" service on my 2013 servers. We will still have some 2007 mapi connected MB clients. Do I need these services started to hand off 2007 mapi requests to the 2007 portion of the environment?

Hi,
Yes.
Based on my knowledge, we should do some configurations.

DDTS-100 decoder and switch box

Hello,
Well, I'm just beginning(yea, I know another noob ) to get started in the home theatre experience. I bought the G550W 5.1 speakers and DDTS-100 decoder from Creative. My question is do I need to use the switch box as I want to hook things togther through my xbox360? And if not, does it matter which rca plug(red or white) goes into the subwoofer and center speaker plugs on the back of the subwoofer?
Thanks for any possible help.

you need to put the 360's rca plug into the decoder and the 3 minijack(orange green black) from the decoder to the subwoofer. the sattelite speakers need to be put in the subwoofers rca plugs!! if you want real surround sound you should get the component or vga able for the 360 because they have a digital optical output, you can connect it with an optical cable to your decoder and push the digital button. your switchbox is not needed

Ddts-100 + dtt3500

I have owned and used my DTT3500 Digital speakers happily for 3 and a half years now. But I have recently bought the DDTS-00 decoder so I could also enjoy DTS encoded material (which the DTT3500 does not support). I've succesfully connected the DTT3500 speakers to the DDTS-100 and made all of them work, but have currently 2 problems:
1) The output volume level is EXCESSIVELY low, either with Dynamic Mode on or off. I've read somewhere here in the forums that is because the DTT3500 decoder is also an amplifier and the DDTS is only a decoder. Well, if that's the case, could I just buy any amplifier and use it connected between the decoder and the speakers?
2) This problem has me puzzled. The DTT3500 speaker cables are RCA mono, but the DDTS-100 has only stereo mini-plug inputs. So, since my father owns an electric supply shop, I simply got 3 2RCA-stereo miniplug converters. I connected the 2 front speakers to one and connected the miniplug to the front input of the DDTS and did the same with the 2 rear speakers, and the center-subwoofer. I get output for all of them EXCEPT the subwoofer when I hit the test button on the DDTS-100 remote control. Mind you that the center speaker DOES work. How can I solve this?
Thank you so much in advance!

This is simply because the DDTS-100, is a standalone decoder, not an amplifier.
You could try messing around with an amplifier, and see if you can make your own setup with an amplifier and the decoder.
Good Luck
