DTS Problem with C2 ?

[T@xi]

Hello,
I'm new here and from Germany, so I hope you can excuse my english. ;x(

I'm an Halo C2 owner since 1 year and I have the new FW on it.

Yesterday I was watching LOTR in DTS 6.1 and I think it was played in Night Mode, but in DTS the Dynamik Button is not in use. As I switch on Dolby Digital I became the full Dynamik. So put in another DVD in my Player, Simply Red Live in Cuba. The same, DTS sounds like Dynamik Cut and Dolby Digital sounds with full Dynamik and it sounds opener.
Is this problem known ? Or have I to reset my Controller ? I hope that somebody can help me. At the moment I watch only in DD :cry:

Hi, Taxi, and welcome to the Guide and Club Parasound! :banana:

If I understand, when you switch from Dolby Digital to DTS, the sound significantly changes, like the the dynamic range has been cut.

A few questions to diagnose the problem:

- Have you tried other sound modes, such as stereo, or Dolby Pro Logic, to see if it's only DTS?

- Are you sure your DVD player is actually outputting DTS? I wonder if it might be your player, where if you select DTS, the player is actually outputting PCM or something.

- How is your DVD player connected for audio?

- Have you changed anything lately before this problem happened? Changed the DTS setting in the C2 audio setup, just installed the latest firmware, etc?

Hello,
thank you for your quick posting. :T

I don't know what's happened with my C2 Controller, but as I disconnected the C2 from the power over night, the C2 is now working correct.
I didn't change nothing.
Hmmm, what could it be ? Now I'm happy to listen to the real DTS Sound. :lol:

By the way, did anyone know wich frequenzes are pulling down with the boundary gain and how much DB ?

Thank You

Hi T@xi,

The C2 has a microprocessor inside and sometimes it will need to be reset by turning off the power at the front panel, then a few seconds later the switch on the back panel. Wait a minute, turn on the back panel switch, wait 30 seconds and turn on the C2 from the front panel. This will usally do the trick.

Best of luck!!

Power spike, bad power, etc. A power reconditioner should help to prevent things like this to happen.

Oh yeah, this is what I am thinking too for. But it was the first time in 1 year, hopely that it comes no more.
