  • Now, from the Main Menu go to the ‘Audio Options.’ Once there highlight the menu entry for ‘English’ and then press the ‘Right’ arrow key on your remote control. A small red flag will appear, press enter to see Bill Reeves and Alan Foumier’s 13-second Flags and Waves (1986).
  • Another one is hidden in the ‘Subtitles’ menu, accessible form the Main Menu, also. On that menu screen highlight the menu entry for ‘English For The Hearing Impaired.’ Pres the ‘Up’ arrow key on your remote control and the icon of a small red beach chair will show up. Now press the ‘Enter’ key and you’ll see a 1986 short by Eben Ostby called “Beach Chair.”
