settings. If this language is not recorded on the disc,

only the available language on the disc will be heard.

Viewing From Another Angle

been shot simultaneously from a number of

can be viewed from each of these different angles

using the ANGLE button.

The number of recorded angles differs depending

on the disc used.

“

during playback. This indicates that the multi-angle

scene has just started. Also on unit’s display

‘ANGLE’ message appears.  From that moment on,

angle of total 

angles is played

 

and you can

angle scene.
