Although I’ve never seen this documented in any film sound history timeline, I always recall an ad that ran for many weeks in the New York Times in the mid eighties for a film presentation featuring digital sound….I finally found this from Boston Light and Sound regarding the engagement:
“HOME OF THE BRAVE” A film by Laurie Anderson (April 1986)
Digital sound presentation at the 57th Street Playhouse, New York City. To our knowledge, this is the first public presentation of a feature in digital sound. System included S.M.P.T.E. time code on 35mm composite magnetic film controlling VHS tape. Playback via 4-channel quad-amped system.
