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 jacks of the player. Set the sound to STEREO using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 48). 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) jacks even if DTS in AUDIO SETUP is set to OFF in the Setup Display (page 71), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged. Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) jack. If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set DTS to ON in AUDIO SETUP (page 71). A loud noise may come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged. When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set DTS to ON in AUDIO SETUP (page 71).
