We recommend using different modes for
different types of DTS material. For watching
movies, the STANDARD, THX or ADVANCED
THEATER setting should provide the best
results. For listening to music, the STANDARD,
DIRECT, STEREO, or DSP modes should serve
the listener best.
Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD
players using the 2 RF jack. If your player has
an 2 RF output this will ensure you can use all
LDs. Refer to p.14.
