Hi Kevin,
Just a quick one, you mentioned about the demo mode of the app, I can't see
anywhere on there to put it in demo mode? Can you direct me?
Cheers.
Steve

Hi Yusuf.
The manual for the player says there is an audio button on the physical remote
to select a specific language track but I haven't had chance to try this yet or
play with the iPhone app equivalent.
I'll report back as soon as I've had more time to check it out.
Regards.
Kevin

Kevin, Have you discovered if its possible to turn on audio description from
the App through the DVDs menu?
