Basic Operations

Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD

• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks.
To avoid possible da ma ge to the audio system, the consum er should take proper precautions
when the analo g st er eo jack s o f t he DVD player are conn ecte d to an ampli f ic at ion s yste m. To
enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be
connected to the digital jack of the DVD player.

• Set the sound to “STEREO ” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a
CD (page 77).

• Do not play DTS sound tracks w ithout first connecting the DVD player to an audio
component having a built-in DTS de coder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the
DIGIT AL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in
“AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 58), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be
damaged.

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

• DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or

OPTICAL) jack.

• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”

menu (page 58).

• If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS de coder, do not set “DTS” to

“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page58). A loud noise may come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be dam aged.
