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.

• The player outputs the DTS signal via the
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL)
jack even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is
set to “OFF” in the Setup Display (page 68),
and may affect your ears or cause your
speakers to be damaged.
Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a

the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or
OPTICAL) jack.
• When you play a DVD VIDEO with DTS
sound tracks, set “DTS” to “ON” in
“AUDIO SETUP” (page 68).
• If you connect the player to audio
equipment without a DTS decoder, do not
set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP”
(page 68). A loud noise may come out from
the speakers, affecting your ears or causing
the speakers to be damaged.
