With this setting you define your preferred subtitle language (if the disc contains different subtitles). Choosing a subtitle language with the SUBTITLE button on the remote control (see page 8) will change this setting only temporarily. This setting can turn subtitles on or off. If set to OFF, subtitles will not be displayed automatically. The SUBTITLE button on the remote control can be used to select and change subtitles during playback. If you wish the front panel display to be lit whenever DVD player is on, select Off. If you wish the display to dim in normal play mode and to light up for 5 or 20 seconds only when a button has been pressed on the front or remote, select 5 seconds or 20 seconds as the timeout. The 5 or 20 second timeout interacts with the remote Dimmer button in the following way: If display lighting has been turned off with the Dimmer button, the PANEL DIM will only turn on the green LED's, not the full display. If display lighting has been set to half brightness with the Dimmer button, the display will light up to this level and the LED's to full level.

With the vertical color bars you can test the following: I proper color intensity setting on your TV, I the proper color of each bar, showing if the proper video standard is turned on: the colors should be (left to right): black, white, yellow, cyan (turquoise), green, magenta (purple), red, blue, black. I proper color transition, seen as sharp separation of the bars, S-Video will be better than Video, RGB best of all. I the performance of the color filter in your TV (with "Video" signals), bar edges should show no vertical crawling dots. Here S-Video and RGB formats usually give no problems. With the grey scale and the black/white fields below the color bars the brightness and contrast of your screen can be adjusted optimally, see chapter "TV Picture Adjustment" below. TV Picture Adjustment with Test Screen These adjustments may be done now, but you can also make them after setup has been finalized. They can also be made at any time simply by pressing TEST on the remote control or on the front panel. Turn down the color control on your TV until the color bars are visible in black and white. Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all bars within the grey scale in the test picture separately and clearly.
