AUDIO LANGUAGE

The Audio Language menu lets you choose the default audio language you want to hear
when it is available. The system will automatically set the audio program to the selected
audio language when the channel you are viewing is either a DIRECTV or a digital
channel and the specified language is available.

In the Audio Language menu, highlight the audio language you want using the up and
down arrows, then press OK to select.

You will find an audio language icon in the channel banner.

Audio language icon

If the icon is highlighted while watching a digital (ATSC) or DIRECTV channel, two or
more audio languages are available. Selecting the icon repeatedly scrolls through and
plays the options.

If the icon is highlighted when watching an analog (NTSC) TV channel, a Second Audio
Program (SAP) is available. Selecting the icon will play the SAP for the current channel
until the channel is changed.
