DTS Digital Surround ™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly 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 digital output (S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD, or DVD player.
