4.1.1 Subtitles

If you used subtitles on an analogue broadcast, you’re proba- bly used to accessing them through the teletext service. With digital TV, they’re separate, and you can turn them on and off easily using the Opt button [Opt button picture] on the remote control.

Press the Opt button, and a small menu box will appear on screen. Choose Subtitle Track, and press OK. Now you’ll see another menu, showing the subtitles available. English lan- guage subtitles will be labelled DVB [eng] and Welsh ones DBV [wel]; just highlight the subtitles you want, and press OK to turn subtitles on.

To turn subtitles off again, go to the same menu, and select Disable.

Digital Teletext is not available when subtitles are turned on.

If you have a hearing difficulty, and would like subtitles to be displayed automatically each time you switch your PVR on, press the Menu key, choose System Setting, then Language Setting and set 1st Subtitle Language to English or Welsh.

4.1.2 Sound tracks

Digital television offers the option of having more than one soundtrack. So, for example, a foreign language film could be broadcast with both the original and the dubbed soundtrack, allowing viewers to choose which version to listen to.

You can switch between soundtracks by pressing the Opt key on the remote control, then selecting Sound Track. You’ll see the available soundtracks listed, such as ‘eng’ for English or ‘wel’ for Welsh, together with an Auto option. If you choose Auto, the PVR will automatically select the soundtrack that matches your language settings.
