Hello, Audio Description needs to be activated via a set of menues on the DVD itself. You need a sighted person to do this for you. Most of the time a DVD can only be played with sighted help. I never buy DVDs anymore because videos were the best. You used to simply put them into the machine, pressed play and they would play. At least companies never did this to CDs. Very best wishes, Sandra.
