can the TL play DTS 5.1 cd's

Thanks to Actuary, I have been having fun creating dvd-a discs from concert dvd's using dvd audio extractor and dvd audio solo as he explaind in another post. By the way, they sound great, especially the Pink Floyd/Roger Waters ones I did.

While looking on ebay to see what dvd-a discs were available I came across DTS 5.1 cd's. I had never heard of these before. Will they play in the TL ?

I knew that it played the DTS on a DVD-A disc but wasn't sure if it would decode a DTS cd properly.

I only have one DTS disk - Carlos Santana's Abraxas. If you like Santana this disk is a must!

However, I did buy the Sting DVD-A that is DTS (it's not a video disk, just audio), and it won't play in the TL, does play at about 1/10th normal volume then every 20seconds or so you get an ear shattering POP that sounds like it's gonna blow out a speaker or something, strange. The DVD does play in my new home system high end DVD/SACD player (Denon DVD-2910).

The DTS compatibility logo must not mean in every case, there are variations out there that won't work.

In theory, yes it should play. In real life, not all DTS plays on TL.

You may need to convert them to DVD-A if you start hearing "Pop" or seeing "format" error.
