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) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in “AUDIO SETUP” 
menu (page 54), 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) jack.
• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP” 
menu (page 54).  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 54).  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.
