Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG AUDIO) are
recorded.
This setting is not available during Resume Play.
• On: Priority given
• Off: No priority given
Notes
• If you set this item to “On”, the language may change
because the “Audio Track Auto Select Mode” setting
has higher priority than the “Audio” settings in
“Language Setup” (page 21).
• If you set “DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)” to “On” and
“DTS” to “Off” in “Audio Setup”, the DTS audio track
is not played even if you set this item to “On” and the
highest-numbered audio channel is recorded in DTS
format.
• If PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio tracks
have the same number of channels, the console selects
PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio 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 Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG format
by selecting “On”.

If you set this option to “+1” or “+2”, the sound may be
distorted in places where loud sound is present. If the
sound becomes distorted, select “Standard”.
Caution
If you turn up the volume too high, your ears may be
injured or the speakers may be damaged.
