Information
(ADVANCED)
You can check information such as the bit

of the playback picture is always displayed as
Mbps (Mega bit per second) and the audio as
kbps (kilo bit per second).

To turn off the Control Menu

By pressing DISPLAY repeatedly, you can

whichever was selected in “ADVANCED. ”
BIT RATE
Bit rate refers to the amount of video/audio
data per second in a disc. The higher the bit
rate, the larger the amount of data. When the
bit rate level is high, there is a large amount
of data. However, this does not always mean
that you can get higher quality pictures or
sounds.
LAYER
Indicates the approximate point where the
disc is playing.
If it is a dual-layer DVD, the player indicates
which layer is being read (“Layer 0” or
“Layer 1”).
For details on the layers, see page 79 (DVD).

Changing the Sound
If the 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, 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

with the vocals on the right channel and the
instruments on the left channel, you can select
the left channel and hear the instruments from
both speakers.

When you select “AUDIO,” the channels
being played are displayed on the screen.
For example, in Dolby Digital format,
multiple signals ranging from monaural to
5.1 channel signals can be recorded on a
DVD. Depending on the DVD, the number of
the recorded channels may differ.
*“PCM,” “DTS,” “DOLBY DIGITAL” is
displayed.
In case of “DOLBY DIGITAL,” the
channels in the playing track are displayed
by numbers as follows:
For Dolby Digital 5.1 ch:
**The letters in the program format display
mean the following sound component:
L: Front (left)
R : Front (right)
C : Center
LS : Rear (left)
RS : Rear (right)
S : Rear (monaural): The rear
component of the Dolby Surround
processed signal or the Dolby
Digital signal.
LFE :LFE (Low Frequency Effect)
The display examples are as follows:
• PCM (stereo)
• Dolby Surround
• Dolby Digital 5.1ch
When an LFE signal component is output,
“LFE” is enclosed in a solid line. When an
LFE signal component is not output, “LFE”
is enclosed in a broken line.
• DTS
“LFE” is always enclosed in a solid line
regardless of the LFE signal component
being output.

•
When the signal contains rear signal components
such as LS, RS or S, the Surround effect is enhanced
(page 50).
•
If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP (page
71),” the DTS track selection option will not appear
on the screen even if the disc contains DTS tracks.
