memo

 

 

 

 

• We recommend using different modes for different types of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DTS material. For watching movies, the STANDARD, THX or

 

 

 

 

 

ADVANCED THEATER setting should provide the best results.

 

 

 

 

 

For listening to music, the STANDARD, DIRECT, STEREO, or

 

 

 

 

 

DSP modes should serve the listener best.

 

 

 

 

 

• Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the

 

 

 

 

 

2RF jack. If your player has an 2RF output this will ensure

 

 

 

 

 

you can use all LDs. Refer to p.14.
