DTS TEST DISCS

Below is a list of all the test discs released by DTS. Some of these test discs are obsolete and should no longer be used. In most cases, the discs are obsolete due to software changes that made them incompatible with current DTS players. Normally, when a test disc is obsolete, DTS will send free upgraded discs to people who have purchased DTS Technician’s Kits. Sometimes, we miss a few people. Anyone who was missed is still entitled to a free upgraded disc. They should contact DTS Customer Service (818) 706-3525).
