Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a

CD

•When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the LINE OUT (R- AUDIO-L) jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the LINE OUT (R- AUDIO-L) jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external DTS decoder must be connected to the DIGITAL OUT jack of the recorder.

•Set the sound to “Stereo” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 48).

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack.

•If the outlines of the images on your screen become blurred, set “BNR” and/or “MNR” to “Off.”

•Depending on the disc or the scene being played, the above BNR, MNR, or FNR effects may be hard to discern. And, these functions may not work with some screen sizes.

•When using the “Sharpness” function, noise found in the title may become more apparent. In this case, it is recommended that you use the BNR function with the “Sharpness” function. If the condition still does not improve, set the “Sharpness” level to “Off.”
