Any information how to connect will be wellcome many thanks
Filipe ValenteJust 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.

DDTS-100 Decoder with Inspire 5500D 5.1 Speakers (DIN Problem!)
Dear all,
I bought a DDTS-100 Decoder today, thinking it will improve connectivity and sound quality of my Inspire 5500D 5.1 Speaker System, but I have run into a bit of a problem. My system has a sub which every speaker is connected to and I have to have the DIN cable connected for controlling the speakers and sub but the DDTS-100 doesn't have a din slot so my speakers will not power on when connected to the ddts-100. Is there a way around this or will I have to take back my decoder. I hope there is a solution as I would be very thankful.
Yours Thankfully,
Kyle Hunt.kyle_hunt85,
Hitting the tab key perhaps? Gets me every time.

PC and DDTS 100 simultaneously
Hello,I have an actually simple problem I can't solve with out help...here it is:I want to connect my PC Soundcard (Creative X-Fi xtreme Music) and the Decoder DDTS-100 to my Soundsystem GigaWorks S750. I realized this through the use of the Switch Box accompanying the DDTS-100. But: With this box I only can choose between PC Audio and the Decoder, thus it's not possible to listen to both of them simultaneously. What can I do?
Hello everyone. I just responded to a post in 'speaker systems' regarding the S-750. Read that for more details.
Anyway, I have the DDTS decoder with the S-750. It really rocks!!!!! Better than most mid level home entertainment systems!!!
I have all the connections filled on the decoder (Analogue, optical etc. to various things) It is not connected to my computer. It is my home entertainment system. My setup is where I have all the device vollumes set to there highest levels including the S-750 and I use the decoder to manage vollume levels.
The only problems I have had so far are 2.1 Once the decoder turned off when I touched it (Static elec. I guess) The other was I turned it on and no sound came through. I cycled the optical selection and it came on.
How is everyone else doing? I had the system for about 3 months now. -
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.

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?

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. -
does anyone out there know where i can find a DDTS-100 decoder in the us i can't seem to find one anywhere on the internet every site says it is dicontinued does anyone have any INFO?
You're pretty much left with eBay. There's one on there now. It's at $62.50 with less than a day left. I searched everywhere on the internet for weeks to no avail. I even researched the international route, but it was way too expensi've. I finally got LUCKY on eBay and picked one up last week, brand new, with Buy it Now for $99!! It had been listed for only an hour when I got it. Chances are, you'll have to pay a premuim, since it has been discontinued. Good luck.

Question about the Headphone Jacks on the DDTS-100
This is probably a strange question, but I am goona ask anyway...
Anyone know whether the headphone jacks on the DDTS-100 gets Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Pro Logic II? I know it supports it for speakers, but I am unsure about headphones.
I am considering buying this with Medusa 5.1 Headphones, and I am trying to figure out whether the Dolby Pro Logic II would work with those.
From what I understand regular 5.1 Headphones do not use the 5 channels unless it is a 5 channel source like a DVD. What I am thinking is that the Dolby Pro Logic II on the decoder might solve that?
Would this work?
Thanks for your time!Thank you both very much for your help!
Yes, I was considering pluging it in exactly as ya just mentioned connecting the headphones via the speaker ports, since the Medusa Headphones do have the same plugs as the 5.1 speakers.
Soo, that might work then? Cool! ty
Now that I look at it, the headphones instructions on the cords on the net mentions pluging it in exactly like that.
Thanks again!,

European to UK Adapter work on a Creative DDTS-100?
Hi
I got a Creative Decoder DDTS-100 of a friend but it only comes with a European AC power supply that has two round prongs and I need one for the UK mains, so I was wondering if anyone knows whether one of those European to UK Adapters would work with the DDTS-100 and if they would then what strength of fuse would would I need in order to power the DDTS-100?
I have tried a adapter my mom gave me but it only has a amp fuse inside it and it didn`t power the DDTS-100 so i`m wondering if it would be because the amp on the fuse is too low?
Thanks for responding.Very helpful forum this is. Two posts and not even one helpful reply.
Mods please remove my two posts and delete my account from the board.
I don`t need your help anymore. -

Hi, I have a problem with my DDTS-100 and i can't seem to find a solution anywhere. I'm Using the Promedia 5. with them. My problem is whenever i play music, watch a movie, or play a game the DDTS-100 emitts a squeeling sound from the front left and right speakers. when i play somthing louder, the squeelch is much more noticable and very annoying. I upgraded from the Promedia DD5. so i could get prologic II and DTS:neo6 support, which works really well by the way, but i never had this problem on the DD5.. If i hear the squeeling, i can pause the music or dvd or whatever and it will still make the noise. when i mute the DDTS-100, the squeeling stops instantly which shows it is the DDTS making the sound. if i turn off mute, the squeelch is still off until i unpause or music or movie again. then the squeelch starts up gradually, but quickly like this: ssssqqqquuuuuueeeeelllllcccccHHH. i'm pretty sure its not an electrical interference since if i plug coaxle from my dvd player and my xbox together i get a hum, which is differant from what i'm talking about. so its not so much a hum, but a squeeling. lol sorry this post wasn't very organized. but i really need help on this one. Thanks in advance.

Oh yes, sorry. The crossover is in the computer soundcard settings which of course, you won't have.
To test the sub you could try connecting another channel to the sub input, say the centre. If you hear the bass component of the centre channel at a decent volume level then you know the problem is not with your amp/speakers but with the ddts-00. If this is the case, then I think you should contact technical support. If you look here,http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=722, someone is having a similar problem, but they clearly say that the subwoofer output on the ddts-00 works fine with movies, so maybe yours is faulty.
EDIT:
I've found an examle of a crossover that is designed for 5./6. systems. I have posted a link to it in the above thread.Message Edited by pjc on 04-8-2005 0:32 PM -
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,KekinBear 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. -
DDTS-100 & Gigaworks 7.1 Problems
Hello all,
I've recently moved, and installed my DDTS-100 with Gigaworks 7.1 on a new TV which is also attached to a new cable jack. I have it set to 6.1/7.1 on the DDTS and 6.1->7.1 upmix on the Gigaworks. I'm bothered because I cannot get the sound to come out of all the speakers. I hooked the TV audio out into Analog on the DDTS-100, and I am accepting the stereo channel, but when I turn it on, sound only comes out of the middle speaker when Dolby or NEO:6 is selected. I can select stereo, and sound comes out of the front two, but not the middle. I miss NEO:6. Does this mean that my cable is only providing a mono signal? Is there something I might do?
Also, I just recentl got an XBox 360. I hooked it up optically to the DDTS-100. When I leave it upmixed from 6.1->7.1, sound only comes from the front and side speakers. When I change it to 5.1->7.1, it comes out of all of them. This does not seem correct as the DDTS-100 is set to 6.1. Do I have anything wrong here as well?
Thanks in advance.Hi Chris,
Firstly, If you are getting audio with the THX optimiser, and via other DVD's, it doesn't appear to be hardware related - logically, the hardware can only output what is actually put into it (i.e. the audio datastream via the software)...
...Meaning this issue probably originates from the software 'encoding' on the disc itself. As you say, it won't actually be a direct fault with just your DVD e.g. a scratch or something similar. However, it seems to be how the disc has been encoded, but I can't be certain :smileyindifferent:
Anyway, hope that's of some help & you get it sorted whatever it turns out to be.
Regards,

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.
