This setting is your preferred subtitle language for DVD-Video discs. If the lan- guage you specify here is recorded on a disc, the system automatically plays the disc with those subtitles.

The DVD-Video format recognizes 136 different languages. Select Other Language if you want to specify a language other than those listed. See also Selecting languages using the language code list on page 70.

•You can change or switch off the subtitles on a DVD disc during playback using the SUBTITLE button. (This does not affect this setting.) See page 42.

•Some DVD discs set the subtitle language automatically when loaded, overriding the subtitle language you set in the Initial Settings menu.

•Discs with two or more subtitle languages usually allow you to select the subtitle language from the disc menu. Press TOP MENU to access the disc menu.

When set to On, the player always selects the default audio language on a DVD-Video 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 player 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 also pages 54–55).

•You can still switch audio and subtitle language on playback using the AUDIO and SUBTITLE buttons.
