Digital Multi-channel sound

A digital multi-channel connection provides the best sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel Audio/Video receiver that supports one or more of the audio formats supported by your recorder (MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS). Check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.

Caution:

Due to the DTS Licensing agreement, the digital out- put will be in DTS digital out when DTS audio stream is selected.

Notes:

The audio format is set to [BitStream] at the factory (default) (page 23).

If your amplifier is not compatible with Dolby Digital, MPEG 2, or DTS, no sound will be heard: In such cases, choose [PCM].

Six Channel Digital Surround Sound via digital con- nection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped with a Digital Multi-channel decoder.

To see the audio format of the current DVD in the on-screen display, press AUDIO.

This recorder does not perform internal (2 channel) decoding of a DTS sound track. To enjoy DTS multi channel surround, you must connect this recorder to a DTS compatible receiver via one of this recorder’s digital audio outputs.
