Digital multi-channel sound
A digital multi-channel connection offers the best sound quality. You will need a
multi-channel audio/video receiver which supports one or more audio formats, e.g.
MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS. You will find information in the documentation
enclosed with the receiver.
➠ Due to the DTS licensing agreement the digital output will be to DTS DIGITAL-
OUT when a DTS audio stream is selected.
This recorder does not perform a (2-channel) decoding (downmix) of a DTS
sound track internally. In order to enjoy DTS multi-channel surround sound, you
have to connect this recorder to a DTS-compatible receiver via one of the
recorder’s digital audio outputs.
