signal formats. The compatible signals via the HDMI terminals are: Dolby Digital, DTS, SACD (DSD 2 ch), PCM (32
kHz to 192 kHz sampling frequencies), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-HD Master Audio and
DVD Audio (including 192 kHz). With other digital signal formats, set to A (analog) (TUNER).
• You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise,
make the proper digital connections (page 15) and set the signal input to C1/O1/O2 (DIGITAL).
• Some DVD players don't output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your
DVD player.

TV, not from this system.
