Subject: [Electronics-talk] DVD's with DVS description description which are
accessible

Hi, all with the holidays coming up most of you will probably want to buy a
DVD or have a family member give a DVD as a gift. Well there are some DVD's
with DVS on them and they are accessible for even a blind person to turn the
DVS track on without sighted assistance.

So far by Disney and Pixar anamations, Cars 2 and Toy Story 3 have an audio
DVS option for blind people.
When you insert the DVD or Blueray into the DVD's drive, and load the movie,
you will hear a chime in the TV or stereo speakers. Once you have heard the
chime, simply press the number 5 key and the select key. The number 5 key on
the DVD remote is usually marked with a dot on the remote. If your remote
does not have a dot, for example, some portable DVD's dont have the 5 button
marked on the remote, then I would put some type of marker such as high mark
on it if at all possible.

Once you find the 5 key and the select or play key, then press this key
combination.

Note: You have to press one and then the second key. It's not like pressing
them both together as you would do on an Apex such as chording.

Once you have pressed the 5 key and the select or play keys, wait about 30
seconds and the movie along with the DVS track will start automatically.

The Grinch who stole Christmas directed by Ron Howard has a different
approach and a more safisticated audio navigation system.

This movie not only has the DVs track but all the menus talk. Unlike the
previous movies I had just talked about, the option to load the DVS track
only loads the track and nothing else. The difference with this movie is the
entire menu system talks!

How does this work do you ask Well once you insert the DVD into the DVD
player the introduction anamation screen will come up and start playing
music and sounds from the movie. Some DVD players will allow you the ability
to skip this step so you will not have to watch the entire anamation
sequence by pressing the menu button. Once the menu button has been pressed,
you will then heare the music from the movie's soundtrac and on the scren
the DVD menu will appear. Simply press the number 1 key and either the
select or play key to load the audio navigation menu. Once the menu hasbeen
loaded, you wil hear Miles Neff's voice talk you through the instructions on
how to navigate the various menus and other options.

I hope the above information is useful for you.
