DTS Sound

Like Dolby Digital, DTS is a multichannel digital format with 6 discrete channels of sound. Some DVDs are encoded using the DTS system. Although the NAD T550 doesn’t decode a DTS encoded DVD, it will pass on the DTS digital signal through either the coaxial or optical digital output.

Connect either the coaxial or optical digital output to a decoder or receiver (such as the NAD T760) capable of decoding DTS signals.

When you connect the DVD player to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet before making any connections.

The output sound of the DVD player has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

Turn off the receiver before you connect or disconnect the DVD player’s power cord. If you leave the receiver power on, the speakers may be damaged.
