Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD

•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 even if “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display, and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

•Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD. (See “Changing the Sound” on page 52.) If you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R,” no sound will come out.

•If you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord and play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD

The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output only when you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord. No sound will be output when you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord.

•If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud noise will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

•When you set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF,” no sound will come out even if you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and play DTS sound tracks on DVDs.
