Thanks for this. It would be great if you could send me the model when you get sighted assistance. If anyone else has a DVD with a dedicated button on the remote I'd be grateful for the info.

Martin, I have a Panasonic that does what you desire from the pressof a button on the remote, but am unable to tell you the model number until I can get somebody to look at it for me; this is a surround system, that is now about 5-6 years old, I bought it from Richer Sounds, if that helps for now -Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: <dudleym@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 6:36 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: DVD player with ad support?I'm looking for a DVD player that allows AD or SAP as it is sometimes rerferred to to be enabled within it's own settings so that when a DVD with audio description is played it will automatically play the audio description. I've been on some web sites that do say that all DVD's will play AD but some require navigating through menus on the player and some where you have to use the menus on the DVD disk itself, to turn it on. Not something I would want to have to do every time I watch a DVD when I have no sighted assistance. I've looked at the specifications of a number of players but none of them indicate whether this function is supported. I just wondered if anyone out there had a model that has this and that they could tell me which one it is.Thanks Martin ANDY COLLINS recently said:-As I understand it, if the DVD has audio description, then any DVD player will play it, but depending on the player, it might require selecting from the menus.If however you are looking to view programmes on TV that have AD, then you will need a TV or set top box that can play AD.Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: <dudleym@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "c" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 7:14 AM Subject: [access-uk] DVD player with ad support?Hi folksCan anyone recommend a DVD player that will play audio description track, I've got two at home but niether of them have the AD or SAP support. I've been told that all Sony DVD players support AD but I dont want to go out and purchase something if it doesn't work. I only want a cheepy if it is just a DVD player but am also considering a DVD HiFi that will play mp3, have usb connection etc. I've been on the RNIB web site and got the fact sheet on DVD players but they state in it that they don't suggest or list any models, they just say that if it has an audio button on the remote then it probably supports AD.All suggestions welcome.
