page 58.)
• Do not perform VIDEO playback while playing back a disc.
• If you play a DVD or VIDEO CD that has scratches, the player may stop playback at the 
point of the scratch.

Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, no audio out will be output 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 DVD player are connected to an amplification system.
• 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 56), 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 56).  You cannot select DTS audio stream when “DTS” is set to “Off”.
• If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to 
“On” in “AUDIO SETUP” menu (page 56).  A loud noise may come out from the speakers, 
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
