Changing the sound
When playing a DVD VIDEO recorded in
multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital,
or DTS), you can change the audio format. If
the DVD VIDEO is recorded with
multilingual tracks, you can also change the
language.
With CDs or VIDEO CDs, you can select the
sound from either 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.
