Sound Adjustments

Changing the Sound

If the DVD VIDEO is recorded with multilingual tracks, you can select the language you want while playing the disc. If the DVD VIDEO is recorded in multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG audio or DTS), you can select the audio format you want while playing the disc. With stereo CDs, DATA-CDs, VIDEO CDs or “MG Memory Stick,” 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.
