With DVDs recorded with multilingual sounds, you can
select the language you want while playing the DVD.
With multiplex CDs or VIDEO 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. In this case, the sound loses the stereo
effect. For example, with a disc containing a song, the
right channel may output the vocals and the left channel
may output the instrumental. If you only want to hear the
instrumental, you can select the left channel and hear it
from both speakers.
Select “AUDIO” after pressing DVD DISPLAY.
