If the DVD player doesn't have the capability to decode a DTS track, you will either get a muted analog output or noise when you play a DTS track. If you have the system cranked up and the non-DTS decoding player gives you the latter (noise), there is the potential of damage to your speakers. Amps and preamps should not be a concern.
If your DVD player cannot decode a DTS track, don't use the DTS track if you will be feeding the L/R analog outputs to the rest of your equipment.

Thanks very much for that explanation. I think I understand now. I believe my DVD player is capable of playing a DTS track and outputting the digital signal from it to the AVR, but cannot decode a DTS track into an analogue output signal (it has no 6-channel output).
In my set-up, I will stick to Dolby Digital. Thanks again for the help!
