■ About DTS signals

When DTS program material ends and the DTS	—
bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS
listening mode and the dts indicator remains on. This
is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast
forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If
you switch your player from DTS to PCM, you may
not hear any sound because the AV receiver does not
switch formats immediately. In such case, you should
stop your player for about three seconds and then
resume playback.
