•Make settings according to amplifier connected to optical audio output as shown in above table.

•When a dts decoder is not connected, to enjoy dts DVD, please select audio output other than dts at the dts DVD menu screen. Otherwise, there will be no sound.

*1 Audio Output 2 from DECK is converted to

48 kHz/16 bit in addition to audio from digital audio output.

To enjoy high quality sound at 48 kHz/20 bit /24 bit or 96 kHz, connect the amplifier or decoder directly to the Audio Output 2 connectors, not to the Digital Audio Output connector. [Select “OFF” at the “LPCM (DVD)”.]

If “Bitstream” is selected, starting DVD play may cause such a high level of noise as to be harmful to your ears and damage the speakers.

*3 When a dts decoder is connected, please select “Bitstream” in “dts”. If “OFF” is selected, there will be no sound.

Notes

•Turn off other surround effects when using this surround effect.

•For optimum effect, the distance between DECK and the listener should be about 3 or 4 times the distance between the right and left front speakers.
