equipment such as an MD deck or DAT deck, play the
disc as you would normally with the connection shown
above, right. Audio CDs recorded in the DTS format

is digitally recorded by connecting the unit directly to
a digital recorder (such as an MD deck or DAT deck),
the music may be recorded continuously and track
numbers may be lost.

sound, DTS or MPEG Audio cannot be connected
digitally to external recording equipment such as an

recording is possible but not for DTS recorded audio.
* To complete these settings, refer to pages 78-80.

• Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may
generate noise distortion and may also damage the
speakers.
