Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a
CD
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive
noise will be heard from the LINE OUT (R-
AUDIO-L) jacks. To avoid possible damage to
the audio system, the consumer should take
proper precautions when the LINE OUT (R-
AUDIO-L) jacks of the recorder are connected to
an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital
Surround™ playback, an external DTS decoder
must be connected to the DIGITAL OUT jack of
the recorder.
• Set the sound to "Stereo" using the AUDIO
button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD
(page 54).
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound
track
DTS audio signals are output only through the
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.
When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set
"DTS" to "On" in the "Audio" setup (page 85).
