Procedure using Demo Reel
The Demo Reel has a specially printed leader for setting the timecode head offset.
1. Using the numbered leader, put the start mark 00 at the reader’s lens (red LED) and thread the film
through the projector as normal.
2. After threading, look at the film and read the number at the projector’s sound head. This is the
OFFSET value and that number should be entered into the XD10 Setup | Timecode Offset menu.
Important: Make the same size film loops inside the projector when measuring offset as
when running a movie. Failure to do so will result in improper sync when the movie runs in
DTS Digital mode. For two-projector houses, the reader at each projector must have the
same OFFSET value (must have equal distance from the aperture), since there is only one
setting for the system (not two).

3. Thread the DTS Demo reel through the projector and DTS reader. Be sure the XD10 is fully
booted and ready to play.
4. Start the projector. Verify the DTS-XD10 automatically switches the cinema processor to the
(DTS) Digital format. Verify sound is heard in the monitor speaker and pop open the porthole (if
possible) to verify sound is heard in the auditorium.
5. While still in the booth, verify the XD10 DTS Playback LED (blue) is lighted and that the LCD
screen displays the film title, Serial number, Reel number, and running timecode.

and has overall good digital sound quality.
