Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD

•When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analog stereo jacks of the player are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be connected to the digital jack of the player.

•Set the sound to “STEREO” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 71).

•Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUTPUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the Setup Display (page 95), and may affect your ears or damage your speakers.

Notes on playing DVD VIDEOs with a DTS sound track

•DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL OUTPUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.

•When you play a DVD VIDEO with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 95).

•If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 95). The speaker may generate a loud noise, affecting your ears or damaging your speakers.
