remain on-screen until you select the
“Done” button at the right side of the
bar, unless you have set the Status
Bar time-out in the Setup Menu (see
page 23).

You can only access the various
Audio Track, Subtitle, Angle and
Repeat Displays while playing a disc.
Also, each feature is only available if
the disc was created with that partic-
ular feature (you won’t be able to
change the subtitle language unless
the disc was created with subtitles).
Changing the Audio Track
DVDs may contain a variety of audio
tracks, including foreign languages,
special commentaries, descriptive
video for the sight-impaired, and vari-
ous digital formats. In normal play, the
unit will always look for the default
setting for the audio track, but you
may change the audio track at any
time using the Audio Button
3 on
the remote control.
