Selecting the audio format

When playing a DVD VIDEO or a DivX video file recorded in multiple audio formats, you can select the audio format you want. If the DVD VIDEO is recorded with multilingual tracks, you can also change the language.

When playing a VIDEO CD, AUDIO CD or MP3 audio tracks, 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 track 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.

Press AUDIO repeatedly during playback to select the audio signal you want.

The default setting is underlined.
