� When listening to DTS material, using the pause, fast forward, or reverse functions on your DTS-compatible player may produce a short audible noise. This is normal. � When DTS material ends and the DTS signal transmission stops, the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E remains in DTS listening mode, and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or reverse functions on your DTS-compatible player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the TX-SR501/ TX-SR501E does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about 3 seconds, and then restart playback. � With some CD and LD players, you won�t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the TX-SR501/ TX-SR501E. This is usually because the digital signal has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the TX-SR501/ TX-SR501E cannot recognize the signal as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise. � The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E�s TAPE OUT and VIDEO 1 OUT connectors output only analog audio, so don�t try and record a DTS CD or LD from these outputs because all you�ll get is noise. DTS-ES: DTS-ES decoding with up to 6.1 channels. Use this mode with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS-ES logo. The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E supports both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. Discrete 6.1 is for use with material encoded in the DTS 6.1 format. With an additional surroundback channel, each 6.1 channel is digitally recorded for a realistic sense of movement and space. You can enjoy this format with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES logo. Matrix 6.1 allows you to play DTS 5.1 material on a 6.1 channel system. Since DTS 5.1 material includes information about the surround-back channel, channels can be reconstructed for playback on a 6.1 channel system. You can enjoy this format with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES or DTS logo. DSP Modes

With an added surround-back channel, this 6.1 channel format offers a heightened sense of space, for added realism with moving sounds such as those that rotate 360 degrees or pass overhead.
