Special considerations when using DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Therefore, if you attempt to send the DTS signal to the second room, you will only be able to hear the digital noise sound that could damage your speakers.

Due to this characteristic of DTS encoded discs, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made.

For LDs or DVDs encoded with DTS

Only 2-channel analog audio signals may be sent to the second room, as follows:

LDs

Set your LD player’s left and right outputs to the analog soundtrack.

DVDs

Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2- channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack.

For CDs encoded with DTS

DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature for CDs encoded with DTS to avoid unexpected noise.

Remote Control in Zone 2

In the second room (Zone 2), the supplied remote control can be used for the Zone 2 remote control. You can select the input source and control the component which is located in the main room directly from the second room regardless of the listening condition in the main room.

1 Repeat steps 1 and 2 of the procedure in “Setting the Manufacturer Code” on page 45.

2 Press j / i to select “L:AMP”.
