Initial Settings
This setting is your preferred audio language
for DVD-Video discs. If the language you
specify here is recorded on a disc, the
system automatically plays the disc in that
language.
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 68.
• You can switch between the languages
recorded on a DVD disc during playback
using the AUDIO button. (This does not
affect this setting.) See page 41.
• Some DVD discs set the audio language
automatically when loaded, overriding
the audio language you set in the Initial
Settings menu.
• Discs with two or more audio languages
usually allow you to select the audio
language from the disc menu. Press
TOP MENU to access the disc menu.
S-video Out
• Default setting: S2
You only need to make this setting if you
connected this player to your TV using an
S-video cord.

Initial Settings
This player uses one of two processes when
displaying a still frame from a DVD disc. The
default Auto setting automatically chooses
the best setting each time.
• Field – produces a stable, generally
shake-free image.
• Frame – produces a sharper image, but
more prone to shake than field stills.
