Selecting audio channels

When you view a standard DVD-Video disc that has multiple audio streams, clicking the audio channel button

displays a pop-up menu of available audio streams. The currently-playing channel is checkmarked.

•DVD-Video Discs can support up to eight audio channels, but not all discs provide them.

Setting up subtitles

Click the subtitle selection button in the DVD control panel to display a menu of subtitle language choices.

Click the language you want for subtitles. The selected language is checkmarked.

•DVD-Video Discs support up to thirty-two subtitle languages.

External subtitles

The External Subtitles feature lets you view subtitles in languages not provided on the DVD disc. The DVD Player supports two of the most common subtitle formats: MicroDVD Player and SubViewer 2.0. Using third-party conversion tools available on the Internet, you can easily convert other subtitle file formats into MicroDVD and SubViewer 2.0 format.

MicroDVD requires a value for frames per second; if the DVD movie does not indicate the frame rate, try these standard values: 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30.

You can display external subtitles over the video or in a separate window. When you display subtitles in a separate window, you can double-click the external subtitle text to jump to that point in the movie.

If the external subtitle text is not synchronized with the video, incorrect time coding in the external subtitle file is usually the cause. Third-party tools are available to correct this.
