Digital Multi-Channel Sound

A digital multi-channel connection offers the best sound quality. For this you need a multi-chan- nel Audio/Video receiver that supports one or more audio formats e.g. MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS. More information can be found in the receiver manual and on the logos on the front of the receiver.

Caution: Due to the DTS licensing agreement the digital output will be to DTS Digital Out when a DTS audio stream is selected.
