About the DTS multi-channel audio format
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.
Important: Set Up the Remote Control First
To operate your audio system correctly, it is important to first set up the remote control.
The operation modes on your remote enable control over the receiver and other components in
your system. Read and understand the instructions for the remote, especially how to switch |
operation modes. |
