Changing the sound

When playing a DVD VIDEO, you can change the audio format. If the DVD VIDEO is recorded with multilingual tracks, you can also change the language.

With VIDEO CDs, CDs or DATA CDs (MP3), 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.
