Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound
track

• DTS audio signals are output only through

the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack.

• When you play a DVD with DTS sound

tracks, set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO
SETUP” (page 58).

• If you connect the player to audio

equipment without a DTS decoder, do not
set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP”
(page 58). A loud noise may come out from
the speakers, affecting your ears or causing
the speakers to be damaged.
