Changing the sound

If a DVD is recorded with multilingual tracks,
you can select the language you want while
playing the DVD. If the DVD is recorded in
multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital,
MPEG audio, or DTS), you can select the audio
format you want while playing the DVD.
With stereo CDs or VIDEO CDs, you can
select the sound from the right or left channel
and listen to the sound of the selected channel
through both the right and left speakers. (In this
case, the sound loses its stereo effect.) For
example, when playing a disc containing a song
with the vocals on the right channel and the
instruments on the left channel, you can select
the left channel and hear only the instruments
from both speakers.
