individually.

Special considerations for DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. If you attempt to
send the DTS signal to the second/third room you will
only hear digital noise (that may damage your speakers).
Thus, the following considerations and adjustments need
to be made when playing DTS encoded discs.
For DVDs encoded with DTS
Only 2 channel analog audio signals may be sent to the
second/third room.
Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-
channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby
Digital soundtrack.
For CDs encoded in DTS
To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2/
Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.
