• DTS audio signals are output only through
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack.
• When you play a DVD with DTS sound
tracks, set "DTS" to "ON" in "AUDIO
SETUP" (page 68).
• If you connect the player to audio
equipment without a DTS decoder, do not
set "DTS" to "ON" in "AUDIO SETUP"
(page 68). A loud noise may come out from
the speakers, affecting your ears or causing
the speakers to be damaged.
Notes
• When you insert an 8-cm (3-inch) disc, insert the
disc slowly at the centre of the disc slot. If you
cannot eject the disc, consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
• No adapter is required in order to play 8-cm (3-
inch) discs on this player. If an adapter is used,
damage to the player may result; therefore, never
use an adapter when playing 8-cm (3-inch) discs.
