Audio description is an optional feature that provides narration tracks in addition to the audio stream, describing what is going on visually on screen. If a title supports the Audio Description feature, the title will display an ‘AD’ badge on the movie or episode title screen. If the title does not display an ‘AD’ badge on the movie or episode title screen, then the title is not supported at this time.
