Due to the programming on some DVDs, you may not be able to change languages even if multilingual tracks are recorded on the DVD.

When playing a DVD, the audio settings may change when you change titles.

When you set the “DTS” option of “Audio Digital Out” to “Off” under “Audio Setup” in the Setup display, you cannot play DTS audio tracks even if such tracks are recorded on the DVD.

Changing the viewing angle

With DVDs on which multiple angles (multi- angles) are recorded, you can change the viewing angle on scenes for which multiple angles are available. For example, while playing the scene of a train in motion, you can change the view from the front of the train, the left window, or the right window, without interrupting the movement of the train.

Use the directional buttons to select the (Angle Options) icon, and press the button. The angle changes each time you press the button.

Notes

The number of angles varies depending on the disc and the scene. For any given scene you can choose from among the angles recorded for that scene.

Due to the programming on some DVDs, you may not be able to change angles even if multiple angles are recorded on the DVD.

If subtitles are recorded on a DVD, you can turn the subtitles on and off during playback. When multilingual subtitles are available, you can also change the subtitle language.

Press the L3 button until “Subtitles Off” is displayed.

Notes

When playing a DVD on which no subtitles are recorded, no subtitles can be displayed.

Due to the programming on some DVDs, you may not be able to display subtitles or switch among subtitle languages even if subtitles are recorded on the DVD.

Depending on the DVD, you may not be able to turn the subtitles off.

The type and number of languages for subtitles varies from disc to disc.
