Setting the Language Options

DVDs have the capacity to contain a great deal of audio information, which includes the ability to hold up to 8 different language tracks and subtitle information in as many as 32 different languages. This section outlines the variety of audio language and subtitle options available with this player. Please note that if you have completed the Setup Navigator, the audio and subtitle language options have automatically been set in accordance with the [OSD Language] (the language that appears on the screen).

Note

DVDs differ in content and do not all contain multiple language or subtitle information. Therefore making settings in this section may have no effect on some DVDs.

■Setting the On-screen Display (OSD) Language

This setting is used to establish the language that operation indicators and on-screen messages and operations display. Change this setting in the Setup screen Language menu [OSD Language] setting.
