DTS Express and DSD Sources
If you can select PCM or DSD output on your SACD player, in some cases, selecting PCM will provide
the best sound quality.
Note:
With some HD DVD and Blu-ray discs, a noise may be heard during playback. This may occur when the audio format
changes during playback. It is not a malfunction.
