Caution for DTS signal:

This signal can be played when the connected DVD-player, laser- disc player or CD-player is capable of DTS-digital output. For details, refer to the player's operation manual.

Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce noise. If that happens, set the Surround mode to DTS.

Playing a DTS-CD or DTS laser disc causes the player’s analog output terminal to output noise. Before playing DTS sources, be sure to connect the player’s digital output to the SR6200’s digital input. Be careful when connecting the output of these players to analog audio input.

Note that the SR6200 has the following restrictive functions built in to reduce noise emission as much as possible.

If DTS is selected while in the Surround mode, digital input cannot be switched to analog input. When the analog input function has been selected, Surround mode cannot be switched to DTS.

While signals from DTS-laser disc or CD are playing in another Surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input.

Caution for 96kHz PCM-audio signal:

This signal can be played when a DVD-player or DAT-player connected to the SR6200 is capable of 96 kHz PCM output. For details, refer to the player’s operation manual.

The signal can be played when STEREO or AUTO has been selected for the Surround mode.

Some DVD formatted discs featured copy protect. When use such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the player's operation manual.
