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 analogue stereo jacks of the recorder 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 recorder.

•Set the sound to “Stereo” using the (audio) button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 44).

•Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the recorder to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The recorder outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in the Audio Setup (page 79), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

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

•When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in the Audio Setup (page 79).

•If you connect the recorder to audio equipment without a built- in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “On” in the Audio setup (page 79). A loud noise may come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
