Cautions when playing DTS sources:

•For DTS sources, be sure to connect the device to the digital input terminal and set “AUTO” or “DTS” for the input source. Noise will be generated if you play in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode.

•When playing DTS signals in the “AUTO” mode, noise may be generated when you first start playing and during searching. If so, play in the “DTS” mode.
