DTS SOUND

In order to enjoy DTS sound your A/V Receiver or processor must be equipped with a DTS Decoder. The digital output of the M55 must be set to
‘Stream/PCM’ and the disc must have a DTS soundtrack. There is no analogue output of the M55 for DTS soundtrack.

CONNECTING TO A SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM

Setup

TO ENJOY DTS SOUND

You need to select from the OSD drop down menu of the M55, Audio, ‘Stream/PCM’ and ‘Sample Freq.’, ‘96 kHz’ or ‘48 kHz’. If uncertain, select
‘Stream/PCM’ and ‘Sample Freq’ of 48 kHz’ menu.

WARNING

Do not connect the Digital Audio Output of this DVD player to your receiver unless you are connecting the DIGITAL OUT jack of this DVD player
to an AV decoder that has the Dolby Digital or DTS decoding function. High volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers
(Refer to Selecting Digital Audio Output. (Refer to Initial Setup Settings, Audio)

NOTES

• Refer to the owner’s manual of your receiver as well.
• Before you connect the M55 to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet before

making any connections.

• Depending on your Digital sound decoder, the decode rate may be 96 kHz or 48 kHz.
• The output sound of the M55 has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the

speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

• Turn off the receiver before you connect or disconnect the M55’s power cord. If you leave the receiver power on, the speakers may be damaged.
