Selecting the Sound
When playing a DVD VIDEO recorded in multiple audio
formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, or DTS), you can
select the audio format. If a DVD VIDEO is recorded with
multilingual tracks, you can also change the language.
With CDs, 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 listen to the instruments
only from both speakers, by selecting the left channel.
Press (audio) repeatedly during playback to
select one of the audio options.

formats.
