Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital 
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-
DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may 
not be recommended.
Digital audio formats
The System can play back the following digital 
audio formats.
Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, 
the same format used for CDs and most studio 
masters.
Dolby Digital *
2
: Compressed digital audio,
developed by Dolby Laboratories, which 
enables multi-channel encode to create the 
realistic surround sound.
DTS *
3
(Digital Theater Systems):
Compressed digital audio, developed by Digital 
Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-
channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression 
ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides 
wider dynamic range and better separation.
MPEG Audio: Another compressed digital 
audio which also enables multi-channel encode 
to create the realistic surround sound. However, 
this System downmix the multi-channel signals 
into 2 channels (decoded PCM) and play it 
back.
