Notes
• When you set the item to “AUTO,” the language
may change. The “TRACK SELECTION” setting
has higher priority than the “AUDIO” settings in
“LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 67).
• If you set “DTS” to “OFF” (page 73), the DTS sound
track is not played even if you set “TRACK
SELECTION” to “AUTO.”
• If PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital sound tracks have
the same number of channels, the player selects
PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital sound tracks in this
order.
• Depending on the DVD, the audio channel with
priority may be predetermined. In this case, you
cannot give priority to the DTS or Dolby Digital
format by selecting “AUTO.”

loud noise (or no sound) will come
out from the speakers, affecting your
ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.
