Sound Adjustments

Changing the Sound 

If the DVD is recorded with multilingual 
tracks, you can select the language you want 
while playing the DVD.
If the DVD is recorded in multiple audio 
formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, 
or DTS), you can select the audio format you 
want while playing the DVD.
With stereo 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. (In 
this case, the sound loses its stereo effect.) 
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 select the left channel and hear the 
instruments from both speakers.

represent the language code. Refer to 
the language code list on page 70 to see 
which language the code represents. 
When the same language is displayed 
two or more times, the DVD is recorded 
in multiple audio formats.

While playing a DVD, the sound may change 
automatically.

If you press DISPLAY twice during 
playback, the format of the current audio 
signal (Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, DTS, 
PCM, etc.) appears as shown below.
