• DTS audio signals are output only through

the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or

OPTICAL) jack.

• When you play a DVD with DTS sound

SETUP" (page 63).

• If you connect the player to audio

equipment without a DTS decoder, do not

set "DTS" to "ON" in "AUDIO SETUP"

(page 63). A loud noise may come out from
