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 provided by your DVD Recorder + VCR
(MPEG 2, Dolby Digital, and DTS). Check the receiver
manual and the logos on the front of the receiver.
• Due to the DTS Licensing agreement, the
digital output will be in DTS digital out when the
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 µ (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.
