When set to On, the recorder selects the default audio language on a DVD disc (French dialog for a French movie, for example), and displays subtitles in your preferred subtitle language only if that is set to something different. In other words, movies in your native language won’t have any subtitles, while foreign language movies will be shown with subtitles.

Set to Off to have the recorder play discs strictly according to your Audio Language and Subtitle Language settings.

For Auto Language to work, the Audio Language and Subtitle Language settings must be the same—seeAudio Language on page 85 and Subtitle Language above.

Note

•Even when set to On, Auto Language may not work with some discs. In this case, set the audio and subtitle languages using the AUDIO and SUBTITLE buttons.

•You can still switch audio and subtitle languages on playback using the AUDIO and SUBTITLE buttons.
