Notes on using the Digital Signal Processor

The digital signal processor (DSP) in this unit can decode Dolby Digital and DTS digital signals. It automatically determines the type of signal, PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS, and processes it accordingly.

¡This unit cannot process other digital signal formats, such as PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz and 192 kHz and MPEG.

¡This unit cannot decode Dolby Digital RF (radio frequency) signals from a laser disc player.
