Dolby Digital® and DTS®

Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of film (while the film is being made). Both of these formats provide up to six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.

The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the original movie the disc was recorded from was encoded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.

Please Read this Before Using the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT Jack!

This TV/VCR/DVD’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder.

Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers.

Make sure the Optical Out setting in the TV/VCR/DVD’s sound menu is on (go to page 11).
