Sound Adjustments

Changing the Sound

When playing a DVD recorded in multiple
audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG
audio, or DTS), you can change the audio
format. If the DVD is recorded with
multilingual tracks, you can also change the
language.
With CDs, DATA 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. 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 hear the instruments from
both speakers by selecting the left channel.
