Notes
• When you set this item to “ON”, the language may change
depending on the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE
SETUP.”  The “TRACK SELECTION” setting has higher
priority than that of “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE
SETUP” (page 34).
• If the number of the highest channels of the MPEG AUDIO
sound tracks is the same as the one of the DOLBY DIGITAL
(AC-3) sound tracks, the priority is given to the MPEG
AUDIO sound tracks.
• Depending on the DVD, the audio with priority may be
predetermined.  In this case, you cannot give priority to the
MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital (AC-3) format by selecting
“AUTO.”
