Enhance your enjoyment of DVD watching by selecting the language of your choice.

DVDs of manga series and foreign films are readily available in the U.S., and many come with the option to watch the film in English. If you are studying a foreign language, speak a foreign language or would prefer to watch the film in its original form, DVDs will usually give you the option to do so. In most cases, you can set your language preferences from the DVD menu or change the language while the film is in progress by using the "audio" key on your DVD remote control.
