During DVD playback it is also possible to access soundtracks, subtitles

buttons:
Audio

Subtitle

Angle
Press to access various camera angles (if available on the DVD disc).

Getting started
Turn on the power of the TV, amplifier/AV receiver and any other
components which are connected to the DVD player. Make sure the TV
and the audio receiver are set to the correct input channel.
1. Press the Open/Close button to open the disc tray.
2. Place the disc on the tray, label side facing up.
3. Press the Play/Pause button. The tray will automatically close and
playback will begin.
For CDs playback will begin straight away at track 1. For DVDs, normally
the disc will go to the Title Menu which is the main menu recorded on
the DVD itself. This is where various disc options will be presented on
screen depending on the disc.
DVDs are normally split into one or more Titles, each subdivided into
Chapters. Each Title may also have alternative soundtracks and
subtitles available. From the Title Menu it is normally possible to start
playback of the main film, go directly to different chapters or access
special features.
Examples of special features are alternative soundtracks (Stereo or DD
5.1 for instance, perhaps DTS 5.1, also commentaries and different
language versions of the soundtrack) and subtitles. Also more than one
title may be available (different versions of the film or making-of
featurettes for instance). These features are encoded on the disc and
the options presented are entirely disc dependant.
Move around the options using the Navigation arrows (), select
the option that starts the film playing in the version you want and press
Enter.
4. Press the Stop button at anytime to stop playback.
Note:
• Do not put anything except a DVD/CD sized disc into the tray, foreign
objects may damage the mechanism.
• Do not force the tray by hand during the opening and closing
operations.
• To avoid dirt and dust entering the mechanism, keep the disc tray
closed when not in use.
• If the disc is seriously scratched or too dirty the player may not be able
to read it or play it.
• Never load more than one disc into the disc tray at one time.
