DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format IS avarlable on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS IS a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded insrde
most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to lrsten
to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD,
LD or DVD player, you wrll experience drgital noise rn most cases. Thus
noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a
high power amplificatron system. Proper measures for playing the
digital output as described below should be taken to avord thus
situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1
channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier wrth a
built-In DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected tothe drgrtal
output (S/P DIF. AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are rncorporated with the DTS decoder.
