Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD
• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the player to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal even
if “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup
display, and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.
• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD. (See
“Changing the Sound” on page 52.) If you have made the connections using an
optical digital connecting cord and set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R,” no sound will
come out.
• If you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord and play a CD
with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out, affecting your ears or causing
the speakers to be damaged.
Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD
The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output only when you have made the
connections using an optical digital connecting cord. No sound will be output when
you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord.
• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do
not set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup
display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud noise will come out
from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
• When you set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF,” no sound will come out even if
you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and play
DTS sound tracks on DVDs.
Notes
• If you leave the player or the remote in pause or stop mode for 15 minutes, the
screen saver image appears automatically. To make the screen saver image go away,
press H. (If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 83.)
• While playing a disc, do not turn off the player. Doing so may cancel the settings of
the menu. When you turn off the player, press x first to stop playback and then
press POWER.
• The power is automatically turned off whenever,
– a disc is not being played.
– you do not operate the player or the remote for more than 30 minutes.
