When set to On, the system always 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 system 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—see page 45.

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

Some multi-lingual discs have disc menus in several languages. This setting specifies in which language the disc menus should appear. Leave on the default setting for menus to appear in the same language as your subtitle preference—see page 45.

The DVD format recognizes 136 different languages. Choose Other if you want to specify a language other than those listed, then follow the on-screen display to select a language. You may also want to refer to the Language code list on page 73.
