Select a space in the sound rack within three feet of the cinema processor to which you are connecting. Page Rack Mount Recommendations Version 2. Rack Mount Recommendations Follow these recommendations if the XD10 is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. Be sure to place each reader at the same location on each projector. This is to ensure the soundtrack plays in sync. Whenever the XD10 drops out, a pulse will be sent to switch the cinema processor back to an analog usually SR format.
This level should match the audio buss level on the cinema processor that the XD10 is connected to. Verify the buss level by consulting the manufacturer of your cinema processor. Level adjustment audio tests for SPL calibration are described in Section 7.
Page Timecode Reader Sync Adjustment 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. Be sure the XD10 is fully booted and ready to play.

Figure Page B Chain Alignment You will be adjusting the alignment of each individual channel. There are various approaches to B-chain alignment, and the procedure presented below is offered as an example, not a requirement. The intent is to show the XD10P functions that are relevant to B-chain alignment.
Page 31 After the adjustment is complete, proceed with normal EQ adjustments with the XD10P Setup software, as described in the steps that follow. After equalizing the center channel, copy these settings to the left, left center, right center, and right channels. Verify Subwoofer amplifier is OFF and level control of amp is at minimum. The operator can put the XD10P into bypass mode and can adjust the sound level using the Main Fader see page but should NOT attempt to calibrate the bypass level.
Place SPL meter in auditorium. Note the auditorium reading for example, 85 dB and record it. This switches the unit to bypass mode and the Bypass indicator will flash. In the Inputs tab, set the Surround Delay control accordingly. Matrix Controls on Inputs tab Example: Rear seat is 12 feet from nearest surround speaker.
