Dolby Digital

and DTS
®
Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the
digital track of film (while the film is being made). Both of these formats provide up to six separate
channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.
The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or
decoder and if the original movie the disc was recorded from was encoded in the Dolby Digital or
DTS format.
Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack!
This player’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or
decoder.
Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection
can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or
speakers.
It is important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the DVD Player’s Sound menu,
especially when you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. For more information, see chapter 5.
