Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD

• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal even if “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display, and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.

• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD. (See “Changing the Sound” on page 54.) If you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R,” no sound will come out.

• If you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord and play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD

The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output only when you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord. No sound will be output when you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord.

• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud noise will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

• When you set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF,” no sound will come out even if you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and play DTS sound tracks on DVDs.

Notes

• If you leave the player or the remote in pause or stop mode for 15 minutes, the screen saver image appears automatically. To make the screen saver image go away, press H. (If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 84.)

and there is no mechanical vibration or shock.

• There is a flaw on the disc.

• When you watch the picture of other equipment using

the LCD screen, the picture noise may appear if the color system of the input signal is different from that of the LCD screen. Change the color system of the LCD screen by pressing DISPLAY on the player for more than two seconds (DVP-FX1 only, page 98).

• Picture noise may appear when you use the LASER

LINK function. Use the supplied audio/video connecting cord to get a clear picture.

• The aspect ratio is fixed on your DVD.

• Make sure you play a VIDEO CD with PBC functions.

• Make sure you follow the instructions for interactive

operations. Refer to the instructions supplied with the disc.

• Check that the player is connected securely.

• The audio connecting cord is damaged. Replace it

with a new one.

• Make sure you connect the player to the audio input

connectors on the receiver (amplifier) (page 20).
