DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which
consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTSencoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be
exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the
analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external
5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or
TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.
This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™ decoder.
While the standby indicator is lit, a small amount of power is supplied to the system to back up the memory. This is called
standby mode. Under the condition, the system can be turned ON by the remote control unit.
