Well, make sure you get a DVD player that can output DTS sound. Most players have the small DTS logo on them. To get DTS sound with your receiver, you will need to connect a digital coaxial or digital optical cable from the DVD player to your receiver. Your receiver should have these connections. Myself, I have a Toshiba 2109 player -- coaxial cable ---> JVC DD/DTS receiver = great sound.

Your receiver (or DVD player) can decode DTS if if has the DTS logo on it.

If your player has the following logo, then it can pass a DTS signal, but not decode it:
You will most likely have to turn on DTS in teh player's setup.

let's not forget that you don't have to buy a digital coaxial cable -- you just have to use one of the two audio cords from your RCA connector. That's what I do, and it still sounds great.
