Changing the sound

When the system is playing a DVD VIDEO recorded in multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, or DTS), you can change the audio format. If the DVD VIDEO is recorded with multilingual tracks, you can also change the language.

With a VIDEO CD, CD, DATA CD, or DATA DVD, 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.

You cannot change the sound for a Super Audio CD.

Press AUDIO repeatedly during playback to select the desired audio signal.

xDVD VIDEO

Depending on the DVD VIDEO, the choice of language varies.

When 4 digits are displayed, they indicate a language code. See “Language Code List” (page 93) to confirm which language the code represents. When the same language is displayed two or more times, the DVD VIDEO is recorded in multiple audio formats.
