If this setting is set to [On] when a DTS CD is playback, noise is
produced.

•Many AV amplifiers allow you to make similar settings at the amplifier stage. In this case, set the channel levels at the player or the amplifier, not both.
•As the test tone plays through a speaker, its name is highlighted in yellow
