Digital multi-channel sound

A digital multi-channel connection offers the best sound quality. You will need a multi-channel audio/video receiver which supports one or more audio formats, e.g. MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS. You will find information in the documentation enclosed with the receiver.

➠Due to the DTS licensing agreement the digital output will be to DTS DIGITAL- OUT when a DTS audio stream is selected.

This recorder does not perform a (2-channel) decoding (downmix) of a DTS sound track internally. In order to enjoy DTS multi-channel surround sound, you have to connect this recorder to a DTS-compatible receiver via one of the recorder’s digital audio outputs.
