•

The OPTICAL, COAXIAL, AUDIO L/R, S-VIDEO and COMPONENT jacks are useful only for DVD section. The VHS signal is output only from the composite jack(DVD/VCR VIDEO OUTPUT) and UHF/VHF OUT.

•

When you make the connections above, do not set DOLBY DIGIT AL to DOLBY DIGIT AL or DTS to ON on the AV Amplifier. If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

•

Caution for the optical digital audio output connector: Do not connect to an amplifier (with an optical digital input connector) which does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

•

DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL or OPTICAL output. To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is necessary.

•

When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analogue stereo outputs.

•

Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.
