according to the playback conditions.

p TRACK SELECTION
Gives the MPEG AUDIO and the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format
priority when you play a DVD on which multiple audio
formats are recorded. If multiple audio channels are recorded
in MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital (AC-3) format, the higher-
numbered channel audio recorded in MPEG AUDIO or Dolby
Digital (AC-3) format is played.
• OFF: No priority given.
• AUTO: Priority given.
Notes
• When you set this item to “ON”, the language may change
depending on the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE
SETUP.” The “TRACK SELECTION” setting has higher
priority than that of “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE
SETUP” (page 34).
• If the number of the highest channels of the MPEG AUDIO
sound tracks is the same as the one of the DOLBY DIGITAL
(AC-3) sound tracks, the priority is given to the MPEG
AUDIO sound tracks.
• Depending on the DVD, the audio with priority may be
predetermined. In this case, you cannot give priority to the
MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital (AC-3) format by selecting
“AUTO.”
p SURROUND

If you play the MPEG AUDIO or the Dolby Digital (AC-3)
sound tracks, the output signal is stereo. You can select the
surround effect by setting the item “SURROUND” to “ON”
or “OFF.”
• MPEG: when the player is connected to an audio
component with a built-in MPEG AUDIO decoder.
If you play the Dolby Digital (AC-3) sound tracks, the

when you play a DVD.
