Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD
The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors only. No
sound will be output from the AUDIO OUT connectors.
• 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 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 “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF”, no sound
will come out from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and
COAXIAL connectors even if you 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. It
will also appear if you play back a CD for more than 15
minutes. To make the screen saver image go away, press

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 via the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors even if “DTS” in “AUDIO
SETUP” is set to “OFF” 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 35.) If you set
the sound to “1/L” or “2/R”, no sound will come from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
• If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may
come out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, affecting your ears
or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Achieving high quality sound
reproduction
The following settings enable you to play audio CDs, 96
kHz DVDs, and SACDs at the highest possible sound
quality.
By pressing AUDIO DIRECT on the player when it is
stopped, the video and digital audio output can be
switched on or off. When the playback audio signal is set
to be output from the digital connectors, this button will
cut the video signal. By setting the digital audio signal to
off, this button reduces the effect of the video and digital
circuitry on the audio signal. When no video signal is
output from the player, the VIDEO OFF indicator lights
up, and when the digital audio or video signal is cut, the
DIGITAL OFF indicator lights up.
By pressing the VIDEO ON/OFF button on the remote
when the player is stopped, the video output can be
switched on or off. When the video output is set to off, the
effect of the digital and analog video circuitry on the
audio signal is cut to a minimum. When no video signal
output from the player, the VIDEO OFF indicator lights
up on the player.
