Changing the Sound

If a DVD is recorded with multilingual
tracks, you can select the language you want
while playing the DVD.
If the DVD is recorded in multiple audio
formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG audio,
or DTS), you can select the audio format
you want while playing the DVD.
With stereo 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 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 only the
instruments from both speakers.
