DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD,
or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible
damage to the audio system, proper precautions should taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.
This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround decoder.
To play Dolby Digital or DTS-encoded software in multi-
channel configuration, you must connect the source device
via a digital connection.
The digital inputs of the VR-5900 are not compatible with
a stereo signal with 192 kHz sampling frequency or a multi-
channel signal with 96 kHz sampling frequency. These sig-
nals should be input to the analog DVD/6CH. input jacks.
