Enjoying Digital Broadcasts
You can enjoy digital broadcasts. Digital
broadcasts are better quality, more varied, and
more controllable than analog broadcasts. By
using digital functions such as rating, closed
caption, or audio setting, you can make various
adjustments to enjoy a digital broadcast.
To use the digital rating
Digital Rating is controlled by the Rating Region
Table (RRT). The RRT is decided by the
broadcaster. This table can be used as parental
ratings. For details, see "Digital Rating" of
"Parental" in "Options" setup (page 85).
Note
This recorder cannot receive the program guide table,
therefore, you cannot set the rating in advance. But as the
dimension that was set once is memorized, the future
program will be able to refer this setting.
To use digital closed captions
Digital Closed Caption supports programs that
have the caption service. If the support service
number is selected, closed captions appear on
screen. For details, see "Caption Service" in
"Options" setup (page 87).
Note
Digital closed captions cannot be recorded.
To select digital audio settings
You can adjust audio settings using the OPTIONS
menu.

Notes on playing DTS soundtracks 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 recorder 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 recorder.
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS soundtrack
DTS audio signals are output only through the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or
OPTICAL)/HDMI OUT jacks.
When you play a DVD with DTS soundtracks, set
"Digital Out" – "DTS" to "On" of "Audio" in the
"Setup" display (page 81).
If you connect the recorder to audio equipment
without a DTS decoder, do not set "DTS" to "On"
in "Audio" setup. A loud noise (or no sound) may
come out from the speakers, which might disturb
your ears or cause damage to the speakers.
