DTS disclaimer clause

When playing DTS-encoded (CDs, DVDs), excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player is connected 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/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the DVD player.

Notes:

•In case an associated system component is connected, also read the instruction manual of the component.

•If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver (amplifier), the receiver produces a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
