Warning

•When you are connecting (via the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set “Digital Output” to “PCM” from the on-screen displays. Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers.

•When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVDs and audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog audio output jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the analog audio output jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD player.
