Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD

• When playing DTS -e ncoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analogue stereo jac ks . To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consum er should take prope r pr ecautions when the analogue stereo jacks of the player are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-ch annel decoder syst em must be connected to the digital jack of the player.

• Set the sound to “STEREO” using the

(audio) button when you play DTS

sound tracks on a CD (page 49).

• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs t he D TS signal via the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the Setu p Display (page 67 ), and may affect your ears or cause you r speakers to be damaged.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD VIDEO

• DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.

• When you play a DVD VIDEO with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “ON” (page 67 ).

• If you connect th e pl ayer to audio equipment without a D T S decoder, do not set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “ON” (page 67). A loud noise may come out f rom the speakers, affe ct in g you r ea rs or ca us in g the speakers to be damaged.

Notes

• Be sure to use an ada pte r (n ot supplied) when playing an 8cm CD on the player posi tioned upright.

Dolby Digital provides the same multi discrete chan nels of high quali ty digita l audio found in Dolby D igital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is realize d because all of the channel data are recor ded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 19)

Audio signal processing technolog y th at Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, centre and rear signals. The rear channel is m onaural.
