Fig. 10. (The VIDEO OUT socket connection is not necessary.) You can
enjoy clearer picture playback.

with a multi-channel AV amplifier (Dolby Digital decoder or MPEG-2
decoder).
The AV amplifier has to be able to process the DTS audio signal in order
to play a DVD with DTS. If it cannot, then you will not be able to hear the
DVD.

- To enjoy Dolby Digital sound, select “Dolby Digital: BitStream”.
- To enjoy DTS sound, select “DTS: On”.
- To enjoy MPEG-2 sound, select “MPEG: BitStream”.
- To enjoy 2 channel digital stereo sound, select “Dolby Digital: LPCM”,
“DTS: Off”, “MPEG: LPCM”.
