Notes
• To enjoy the TVS function, set “Digital Out” to “On”
and “Dolby Digital” to “D-PCM” in Audio Setup.
• When the playback signal does not contain a signal for
the rear speakers, the surround effects will be difficult 
to hear. 
• When you select one of the surround modes, turn off
the surround settings of the connected TV or amplifier 
(receiver).
• Make sure that your listening position is between and
at an equal distance from your speakers, and that the 
speakers are located in similar surroundings.
• The TVS function cannot be used with discs recorded
on this recorder. Angles and subtitles also cannot be 
changed.
Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will
be heard from the analog stereo jacks. To avoid 
possible damage to the audio system, the consumer 
should take proper precautions when the analog stereo 
jacks of the recorder are connected to an amplification 
system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an 
external 5.1-channel decoder system must be 
connected to the digital jack of the recorder.
• Set the sound to “Stereo” using the
AUDIO
button
when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 56).
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track
DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL 
OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.
When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set 
“DTS” to “On” in Audio Setup (page 90).
