Hints
• You can have the player turn off automatically
whenever you leave it in stop mode for more than
30 minutes. To turn on this function, set “AUTO
POWER OFF” in “CUSTOM SETUP” to “ON”
(page 92).
• For details on the types of MP3 audio tracks that
you can play on this player or on their playback
order, see “Selecting and Playing an MP3 Audio
Track” on page 43.
• When you want to play a certain disc
immediately, place it in the EASY PLAY slot

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
damage to the audio system, the consumer
should take proper precautions when the
analog stereo jacks of the player are
connected to an amplification system. To
enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an
external 5.1-channel decoder system 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 71).
• 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 via the
DIGITAL OUTPUT (COAXIAL or
OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” in “AUDIO
SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the Setup
Display (page 95), and may affect your ears
or damage your speakers.
Notes on playing DVD VIDEOs with a DTS
sound track
• DTS audio signals are output only through
the DIGITAL OUTPUT (COAXIAL or
OPTICAL) jack.
• When you play a DVD VIDEO with DTS
sound tracks, set “DTS” to “ON” in
“AUDIO SETUP” (page 95).
• If you connect the player to audio
equipment without a DTS decoder, do not
set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP”
(page 95). The speaker may generate a loud
noise, affecting your ears or damaging your
speakers.
