Set subtitle, language, and closed captioning preferences
If your DVD provides them, you can use subtitles, soundtracks, and interactive menus in different languages. If your DVD includes closed captions, you can view them instead of subtitles.
Show or hide subtitles
With the movie playing, move the pointer to show the Controller bar (if the movie is full screen) or open the Control Drawer in the Controller.
Do one of the following:
In the Controller bar, click the Streams/Closed Captioning button.
In the Control Drawer, click and hold the Subtitle/Closed Captioning button.
Turn on subtitles or choose another language, if available.
For some discs, you may need to use the disc’s interactive menus to turn on and choose subtitles.
Set language preferences
You can choose a language to use by default. In most cases, you can also select the language for the soundtrack and subtitles using the interactive menus on a DVD.
Choose DVD Player > Preferences, then click Disc Setup.
Choose the default language you want to use from the Audio, Subtitle, and DVD Menu pop-up menus.
Turn closed captioning on and off
Do any of the following:
Choose Features > Turn On Closed Captioning.
Choose Features > Turn Off Closed Captioning.
Press Option-Command-T.
Automatically turn on closed captioning whenever you mute the volume by choosing DVD Player > Preferences, clicking Player, then selecting Show Closed Captioning next to “When muted.”
Customize closed captioning
