NOTES:
The unit does not provide the DTS decod- ing function.
When playing a DVD VIDEO or Audio CD disc with DTS, use a DTS decoder to get correct signals from your speakers.
Never use the unit’s analog output jacks, which output incorrect signals that may damage your speakers.
If you connect the analog outputs and digital outputs simultaneously, be sure to select the source of the amplifier correctly, or set the level control of the amplifier con- nected to the analog outputs to minimum.
Down Mix
To playback a DVD VIDEO disc recorded with surround multichannel audio correctly, the DOWN MIX setting must be properly made according to your audio system. Note that this setting affects the output signal from the ANALOG output jacks when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc recorded with surround multichannel audio.
