Changing the audio channels
When playing a DVD recorded in multiple audio
formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS), you can
change the audio format. If the DVD is recorded
with multilingual tracks, you can also change the
language.
With VCDs, 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.
During playback, press (AUDIO)
repeatedly to select the desired audio
channels.
Audio sound settings differ depending on the
disc as follows:
