DTS (KRF-V7030D only)
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 inside
most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen to
DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD
or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noise
can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high
power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the digital
output as described below should be taken to avoid this 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.
KRF-7030D is incorporate the DTS decoder.
