TRACK SELECTION (DVD only)

Gives the sound track having the highest number 
of channels priority when you play a DVD on 
which multiple audio formats (PCM, MPEG 
audio, DTS, or Dolby Digital format) are 
recorded.

Notes

• When you set the item to [AUTO], the language may 

change. The [TRACK SELECTION] setting has 
higher priority than the [AUDIO] settings in 
[LANGUAGE SETUP] (page 72).

• If PCM, DTS, MPEG audio, and Dolby Digital sound 

tracks have the same number of channels, the system 
selects PCM, DTS, Dolby Digital, and MPEG audio 
sound tracks in this order.

• Depending on the DVD, the audio channel with 

priority may be predetermined. In this case, you 
cannot give priority to the DTS, Dolby Digital, or 
MPEG audio format by selecting [AUTO].

x

AUDIO DRC

exist on the disc, the system 
recognises the disc as a “JPEG 
Disc.”
