DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format IS available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS IS a strictly digital format and can not be decoded rnsrde
most CD, LD or DVD players. For thus reason, if you attempt to listen to
DTS encoded Q&ware through the analog output of your new CD, LD
or DVD player, you will experience digital norse rn most cases. Thus norse
can be quite loud if the analog output IS connected directly to a high
power amplification system. Proper measures for playrng the digital
output as described below should be taken to avoid thus situation. To
enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS
Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-In DTS
Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P
DIF, AES/EBU or TosLInk) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are Incorporated with the DTS decoder.
