 NOTE:

– Some DTS decoders, which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not

work properly with the DVD/CD Player.

 Reference

 Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by Dolby

Laboratories, Inc. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo

(2 Channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be

efficiently recorded on a disc.

4

 The Digital Theater System (DTS) is a 5.1-channel surround sound system,

which is widely used in movie theatres around the world, It allows the bit rate to

be increased in order to provide good sound quality without excessively

compressing the data.

 Linear PCM (LPCM) is a signal-recording format used in a CD. While a CD is

recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded at 48-kHz/16 bit up to 96kHz/24

bit.

 If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit

of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide fill 5.1-channel Dolby

Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Digital mark

 The digital audio output connector (optical) converts electrical signals into

optical signals (light) and transfers them to an amplifier. These optical signals

are immune from electrical interference, and they also have minimal effect on

other equipment.

DVD player to:

• Extremely Hot or Cold Temperatures.

Direct Sunlight.

•

• High Humidity.

• Dusty Environment.

• Locations where strong magnetic fields are generated.

Humidity and Moisture Condensation

•

Temperature Extremes

When the vehicle is parked under direct sunlight or in an extremely cold place for a

long period of time, wait until the cabin temperature of the vehicle is at normal

temperature before operating the system.

Humidity and Moisture Condensation

Under extremely humid conditions or when moving the DVD Player from a cold

place to a warm place moisture in the air may condense. Moisture condensation

may cause damage to the DVD and/or player. If moisture condensation occurs, do

not insert a CD or DVD into the player. If one is already in the player, remove it.

Turn the DVD Player ON to dry the moisture before inserting a DVD. This could
