CHANGING LANGUAGES

You may be able to change the language of some programs. An alternate language may not be available for all programs. Some programs, such as movies, indicate at the beginning whether an alternate language or descriptive audio is available. An alternate language applies only to the audio part of a program and does not change the language used in the menus displayed by the receiver. Descriptive audio—not included on all channels and programs—is a feature for the visually impaired that describes what is happening during a program.
