Notes on DTS Surround · If you play a DTS Surround encoded disc with the DVD Receiver, or a DTS encoded disc using a digitally connected player, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder of the DVD Receiver recognizes the DTS encoded signal and starts operating. · If you play a DTS Surround source in fast reverse or fast forward, pause, or skip a chapter or track, noise may be heard. · Even when playback of the DTS Surround source stops and the DTS signal transmission ends, the DVD Receiver remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This is to prevent noise when you pause, fast forward, fast reverse, or skip a chapter or track of the playback source. Therefore, if the source switches from the DTS signal to a PCM (2 channel digital stereo) signal immediately, the PCM signal may not be played. In such a case, stop playback for about three seconds, then resume playback. · Some CD players (if connected to the DVD Receiver) and LD players may be unable to play DTS Surround sources correctly even if you connect the player to the DVD Receiver digitally. In such a case, the digital signals (such as the output level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc. ) processed by the DVD Receiver cannot be recognized as DTS data by the DVD Receiver and you may hear noise instead of the proper sound.
