Digital Theater Systems (DTS)
DTS is a high quality surround technology used in theaters and now available for home use,
on DVD video discs or audio CDs.

unless you are connecting (via the
BITSTREAM/PCM AUDIO OUT jack) an AV decoder that has the Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2
decoding function. High volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers.
• When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVD video discs and audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog
stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the ANALOG
AUDIO OUT jacks of the DVD video player are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the BITSTREAM/PCM
AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player.

Receiver. This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the BITSTREAM/PCM
AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player.
• Connect the BITSTREAM/PCM AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player to the “COAXIAL” input of a Receiver or Processor.
• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.
• When you connect the DVD video player to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment
from the wall outlet before making any connections.

listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
