Changing the Audio Track

Please remember you can only access the various Audio Track, Subtitle, Angle and Repeat Displays when playing a disc. Also, each Banner Display feature is only available if the disc was created with that particu- lar feature (i.e., if you select the Subtitle icon, you won’t be able to change the subtitle language unless the author of the disc created the disc with subtitles).

DVDs may contain a variety of audio tracks, including foreign languages, special commentaries, descriptive video for the sight-impaired, and various digital formats. In normal play, the unit will always look for the default setting for the audio track, but you may change the audio track at any time using the Audio Button 5 on the remote control.

While playing a disc, press the Audio Button 5 on the remote control once to see the Audio Display with the current audio language and format. Press repeat- edly to select other languages and/or audio formats.

NOTES:

The audio feature only works if the disc was created with multiple audio tracks.

Some DVDs do not not allow direct selection of audio during playback. Instead, you must use the audio setup section of the disc menu.

When you choose an audio language with the Audio Button 5 on the remote control, you only override the audio language setting in the DVD player’s Main menu (Audio menu within Setup menu) temporarily.

Changing the Subtitle Language

DVDs may contain a variety of subtitles. In normal play, the unit will always look for the default setting for the subtitle language, but you may temporarily change that language at any time using the Subtitle Button 2 on the remote.

While playing a disc, press the Subtitle Button 2 on the remote control once to see the Subtitle display with the current subtitle language. Press repeatedly to select other subtitle languages.

NOTE: The subtitle feature only works if the disc was created with subtitles.

Changing the Camera Angle

A special feature of the DVD format is its capability of showing more than one view, or camera angle, of the same scene. This feature enables you to become the director, selecting the view of a scene that you wish. However, this feature does not appear on many discs and, when it does appear, it will typically be for only certain scenes and not for the entire disc’s program.

To see whether a disc contains multiple angles, check the disc’s cover or jacket. When the DVD´s title or chapter played currently does contain scenes with multiple angles, the multi-angle symbol in the upper right corner of the front-panel display will flash. The multi-angle feature is only available when this symbol is flashing.

When the multi-angle symbol flashes, you can press the Angle Button 4 on the remote control. The Angle Display will appear with the camera angle cur- rently being viewed and the total number of angles on the disc.

Press the Angle Button 4 again to change the camera angle. The number of angles available may differ from one disc to another.
