This setting is your preferred subtitle language for DVD
discs. If the language you specify here is recorded on a
disc, the recorder automatically plays the disc with those
subtitles (although this depends on the Auto Language
setting—see Auto Language below).
Choose Other if you want to specify a language other
than English or French (see Selecting ‘Other’ languages
on page 102).
Tip
• You can change or switch off the subtitles on a DVD
disc any time during playback using the SUBTITLE
button. (This does not affect this setting.)
Auto Language
• Default setting: On
When set to On, the recorder selects the default audio
language on a DVD 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 recorder 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
Audio Language on page 101 and Subtitle Language on
page 101.
Note
• Even when set to On, Auto Language may not work
with some discs. In this case, set the audio and
subtitle languages using the AUDIO and SUBTITLE
buttons.
Tip
• You can still switch audio and subtitle languages on
playback using the AUDIO and SUBTITLE buttons.
DVD Menu Language
• Default setting: w/Subtitle Language
Some multilingual discs have disc menus in several
languages. This setting specifies in which language the
disc menus should appear. Leave on the default setting
for menus to appear in the same language as your
Subtitle Language—see Subtitle Language on page 101.
Choose Other if you want to specify a language other
than English or French (see Selecting ‘Other’ languages
below).
Subtitle Display
• Default setting: On
When set to On, the recorder displays subtitles
according to the Subtitle Language and Auto
Language settings. Set to Off to switch subtitles off
altogether (although you may find that some discs
override this setting). Set to Assist Subtitle to have the
recorder display the extra assistive subtitles recorded on
to some DVD discs.
Selecting ‘Other’ languages
1 Select ‘Other’ from the language list.
This option appears in the settings for DVD Menu
Language, Audio Language, and Subtitle Language.
2 Select the language you want.
• Select by language name: Use the / (cursor left/
right) buttons to change the language.
