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
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 51).
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 76).
