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 DVD player 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 DVD player.
• Set the sound to “STEREO” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a 
CD (page 80).
• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio 
component having a built-in DTS decoder.  The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the 
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in 
“AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 60), and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be 
damaged.
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track
• DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or 
OPTICAL) jack.
• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP” 
menu (page 60).
• If  you  connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to 
“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 60).  A loud noise may come out from the speakers, 
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
* “DTS”  and “DTS Digital Out” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
