Apple TV 3rd Gen Update - Dubbed in wrong language?

Greetings!

I just updated the OS on my Apple TV 3rd Gen (A1469) to 7.5 (8097) and everything that plays for free under the Apple TV+ Menu is dubbed in Japanese(?).

All other content (not under the Apple TV+ menu) is in English - and I wandered into the main Settings Menu and selected English. Very weird. A cruel hoax... Here's your Apple TV OS update and some free Apple TV+ content, but... it's in the wrong language. Anyone else heard of this happening?

Even if it defaults to the wrong language, you should be able to change the audio track to one that has original language audio.

All Apple TV+ content seems to be distributed with all audio tracks selectable for all regions.


On Apple TV (3rd generation), hold down Select on your remote for three seconds while a video is playing to see the Subtitles and Audio menus. Then select a different audio track.
