Changing the sound
When playing a DVD or DATA CD/DATA
DVD (DivX files) 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 VIDEO CDs or 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.
Press AUDIO repeatedly during play.
Each time you press the button, the setting
