**WARNING** DTS Masters bitstreamed can damage speakers!!
Let's hope this doesn't happen with the Classé SSP-800
Is this for real!!!
**WARNING** DTS Masters bitstreamed to Yamaha, Onkyo or Integra can damage speakers!!
***WARNING***13APR08
Anyone using a Yamaha or Onkyo/Integra receiver or pre/pro should use extreme caution when bitstreaming DTS MA.
Users are reporting a loud "POP" that is described as a loud firework or gunshot when using one of the above listed receivers AND bitstreaming DTS MA. This can damage your equipment!!!
The theory is certain receivers have a faulty DTS decoder chip and when coupled with certain DTS MA tracks, will cause this issue.
Ronny Katz, the Sr. Manager of Professional Audio at DTS, has already responded to this thread (see post #599) and has stated the issue is not in the DTS track or stream, and to seek assistance from your specific AVR manufacturer. Mr. Katz will not comment any further on the issue.
It is unknown at this time if all or just some models are affected.
Certain members have been in contact with Yamaha and Onkyo, though nothing official yet, it does look promising.
It is unknown at this time if the receivers can be fixed via a firmware or may need a more involved matter like shipping your unit in for a hardware change.
"kinglerxt" has received a reply from Onkyo including a firmware fix for his particular model (see post #1788). Contact your Manufacturer or visit your official owners thread for more details.
