Author Topic: Blu-Ray "Angle" Control Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 10-12-2009 09:33 AM                     As most of know, most standard definitions DVD players have an "angle" control button on their remote controls. Do Blu-Ray players also have an "angle" control? I ask this because over the last few months, I have come across a few Blu-Ray discs that require you to hit the "angle" button to switch the version of the movie on the fly. I have two different model Panasonic Blu-Ray players, and neither has an "angle" control. Is this something Panasonic left out, or were the discs improperly mastered?  |  IP: Logged Robert Minichino Master Film Handler Posts: 350 From: Haskell, NJ, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 10-12-2009 09:38 AM                        My PS3 remote has an angle button.  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 10-12-2009 10:31 AM                  My LG BH-200 has an angle button...but no way to turn off the angle icon if you don't want to use the feature. Hence when watching something with multiple angles (like the Star trek Original Series BR discs) I have the angle icon popping up on the top right of the screen during the program.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-12-2009 11:26 AM                     I have a Panasonic Blu-ray also and it does not have a angle button on the remote. In the on screen display area it has an area to change angle. My Sony Blu-ray has an angle button.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 10-12-2009 04:11 PM                     Panasonic forgot to put Subtitle buttons on their remotes too.  |  IP: Logged
