Notes

•To enjoy the TVS function, set “Digital Output” to “On” and “Dolby Digital” to “D-PCM” in Audio Setup.

•When the playback signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers, the surround effects will be difficult to hear.

•When you select one of the surround modes, turn off the surround settings of the connected TV or amplifier (receiver).

•Make sure that your listening position is between and at an equal distance from your speakers, and that the speakers are located in similar surroundings.

•The TVS function cannot be used with titles recorded on this recorder. Angles and subtitles also cannot be changed.

•When you use the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack to listen to MPEG audio signals and set “MPEG” to “MPEG” in Audio Setup, no sound will come from your speakers if you select one of the TVS modes.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD

•When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analogue stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analogue stereo jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be connected to the digital jack of the recorder.

•Set the sound to “Stereo” using the (audio) button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD

(page 56).

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.

When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in Audio Setup (page 92).
