Some digital camcorders have two stereo tracks for audio. One is recorded at the time of shooting; the other is for overdubbing after shooting.

On the Stereo1 setting, the sound that was recorded while shooting is used. On the Stereo2 setting, the overdubbed sound is used. You can also choose a Mix setting of 25%, 50% or 75% for the Stereo 1 with a corresponding Stereo 2 setting of 75%, 50% or 25%.

If your AV amp/receiver (or other connected component) has a built-in DTS decoder, set to On, otherwise set to Off. Check the manual that came with the connected component if you’re unsure whether it is DTS compatible.

Important

If you set to On with a non-DTS compatible amp/ receiver, noise will be output when you play a DTS disc.

When set to On, there is no analog audio output when playing a DTS DVD-Video disc.

When playing a DTS audio CD (even when DTS Out is Off), noise is output from the analog outputs. Do not play this through your amplifier and speakers.
