DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital SurroundTM is a discrete 5 1 channel digital audio format
available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be
decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players For this
reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog
outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions
should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected
directly to an amplification system To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTM
playback, an external 5 1 channel DTS Digital SurroundTM decoder
system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or
Toslink) of the CD, LD or DVD player

Analog connections
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords These cables transfer
stereo audio signal in an "analog" form This means the audio signal
corresponds to the actual audio of two channels These cables usually have
2 plugs each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the left
channel These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, or
are available at your local electronics retailer
