Initial Settings
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.

Initial Settings
(DV-656A screen)
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.
