Caution
Extreme caution should be exercised when you play back CDs
encoded in DTS. If you play back a CD encoded in DTS on a
DTS-incompatible CD player, you will only hear some
unwanted noise that may damage your speakers. Check whether
your CD player supports CDs encoded in DTS. Also, check the
sound output level of your CD player before you play back a CD
encoded in DTS.
y
To play DTS-encoded CDs when using a digital audio connection, set
“Decoder Mode” in “Input Select” to “DTS” before playback (see
page 82).
Before performing the following operations, set the operation mode
selector on the remote control to
F
AMP.
