Disc – Various Functions

Selecting the audio format

When playing a DVD VIDEO or a DivX video
file recorded in multiple audio formats, you can
select the audio format you want. If the DVD
VIDEO is recorded with multilingual tracks,
you can also change the language.
When playing a VIDEO CD, AUDIO CD or
MP3 audio tracks, 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. For example, when playing a
track with the vocals on the right channel and the
instruments on the left channel, you can hear the
instruments from both speakers by selecting the
left channel.
Press AUDIO repeatedly during playback to
select the audio signal you want.
The default setting is underlined.

Depending on the DVD VIDEO, the option of
language and audio format varies.

displayed two or more times, the DVD VIDEO
is recorded in multiple audio formats.
