Notes
• The optical digital connecting cable is an extremely high-precision device and is sensitive to
jolts and external pressure. Therefore, be careful when inserting and removing the cable plug.
• The digital input for the processor does not support sampling frequencies of 96 kHz. Set the
digital output setting for the DVD player to 48 kHz when using this system. Noise may be
heard when a 96 kHz digital signal is input.

DTS
•A DTS-compatible DVD player is required for playback of DVDs recorded in DTS audio. (For
more details, see the instruction manual of your DVD player.)
• When playing CDs recorded in DTS format, noise may occur when fast forwarding or
rewinding. This is not a malfunction.
• If the DTS digital output is set to “OFF” on the DVD player, no sound may be heard even if the
DTS output is selected in the DVD menu.
• No sound may be heard when a DVD player and this unit is analogue-connected. In this case,
use a digital connection.
