Digital Multi-Channel Sound?
A digital multi-channel connection provides the best sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel
audio/video receiver that supports one or more of the audio formats supported by your DVD Recorder+VCR
(MPEG 2, Dolby Digital, and DTS). Check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.
Connecting an Amplifier/Receiver
• Due to the DTS Licensing agreement, the digital output will be in DTS digital out when DTS audio stream is
selected.
• If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce
a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
• 5.1 channel digital surround sound via the digital connection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped with
a digital multi-channel decoder.
• To see the audio format of the current DVD on the on-screen display, press [AUDIO].
The DVD Recorder+VCR does not perform internal (2- channel) decoding of DTS sound tracks. To enjoy DTS multi-
channel surround, you must connect the DVD Recorder+VCR to a DTS compatible receiver via one of the DVD
Recorder+VCR’s digital audio outputs.
