About the DTS multi-channel audio format
The DTS multi-channei audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD software. DTS Is a strictly
digital format and can not be decoded inside most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you
attempt to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD or DVD
player, you will experience digital noise In most cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog
output is connected directly to a high power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the
digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this situation. To enjoy DTS Digital
Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier
with a built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must beconnected to the digital output [S/PDIF. AES/
EBU or TosLinkI of a CD, LD or DVD player.
