• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound trackson a CD. (See “Changing the Sound” on page 30.) If you setthe sound to “1/L” or “2/R”, no sound will come from theDIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

• If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise maycome out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, affecting your earsor causing the speakers to be damaged.

The rear channel is stereo andthere is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels ofhigh quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinemaaudio systems. Good channel separation is realizedbecause all of the channel data is recorded discretely andprocessed in digital.

Dolby Pro Logic (page 52)Audio signal processing technology that DolbyLaboratories developed for surround sound. When theinput signal contains a surround component, the ProLogic process outputs the front, center and rear signals.The rear channel is monaural.

DTS (pages 12, 53)Digital audio compression technology that Digital TheaterSystems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there isa discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS providesthe same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digitalaudio.
