Changing the sound/ subtitle/angleChanging the sound

If a DVD is recorded with multilingual titles or audio formats, you can select the language or audio format you want while playing the DVD. You can also output either the left or right channel sound from both speakers while playing a VIDEO CD or CD. Note that this results in monaural sound. For example, when playing a Karaoke VIDEO CD (disc with the vocals on one channel and the instruments on the other channel), you can switch the sound to cancel the vocal track and listen only to the instruments.

Press AUDIO repeatedly during play.

Each time you press the button, the setting changes cyclically as follows:
