Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a
CD
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive
noise will be heard from the analogue stereo
jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio
system, the consumer should take proper
precautions when the analogue stereo 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) jack.
When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set
“DTS” to “On” in the “Audio” setup (page 90).
