• We recommend using different modes for differ-
ent types of DTS material. For watching movies,
the STANDARD, THX or ADVANCED THEATER
setting should provide the best results. For listen-
ing to music, the STANDARD, DIRECT, STEREO,
or DSP modes should serve the listener best.
• Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD play-
ers using the 2 RF jack. If your player has an 2 RF
output this will ensure you can use all LDs. Refer
to p.14.
