About the DTS multi-channel audio format

i The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVO software. DTS is a strictly I digital format and can not be decoded inside most CDo LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you

attempt to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD or DVD

i player, you will experience dtgital noise in most cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog

I output is connected directly to a high power amplificatton system. Proper measures for playing the

I

I digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this situation. To enjoy DTS Digital
