DTS is a strictly digital format and can not be decoded insidemost CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen toDTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LDor DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noisecan be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a highpower amplification system. Proper measures for playing the digitaloutput as described below should be taken to avoid this situation.
