• 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 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 
player.

• Set the sound to “STEREO” using the 

AUDIO button when you play DTS sound 
tracks on a CD (page 40).

• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first 

connecting the player to an audio 
component having a built-in DTS decoder.
The player outputs the DTS signal via the 
DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack even if 
“DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” 
in the Setup Display (page 58), and may 
affect your ears or cause your speakers to be 
damaged.
