Subtitle Problem With Dvd Recorder
17 Answers
Watching a few films which are quite old and I have watched before, most probably with subtitles. However I have just put in two DVDs and there is no option to switch on subtitles, they both just say Subtitles Off. On the sleeve it says there are subtitles. Why is this?

All I can suggest is firstly trying the old trick of turning it off and turning it on again. (By 'turning it off', I actually mean unplugging it and waiting for a minute or two before powering it up again). If that doesn't work, go into the menu settings to look for Initialize > Shipping Condition to return the unit back to its 'out of the box' state. (See page 80 in the manual: https:/ /www.ri chersou nds.com /media/ pdf/PAN A-DMRBW TEB-BLK _DMRBWT 850.pdf ).

Have you used the up/down (and/or left/right) buttons to move the 'focus' on your screen to where it says 'Subtitles: Off'? (i.e. to get that bit highlighted). You should then be able to press something else to toggle between 'On' and 'Off'. (With many DVD players, you use up/down to select the area on the screen and then left/right to toggle between the options - but not all devices are the same).
Bhg, the button on the remote works fine on recorded programmes, it switches on and off. I have been using it ever since I started recording programmes. It is probably something really simple but so annoying when l can’t hear the film on DVD! There is just nowhere to make the choice of Subtitles Off to Subtitles On. Thanks all for your ongoing help.
I've just tried a DVD on my own Panasonic and found that the remote button was irrelevant. When I put the DVD in there was a menu option on the DVD to have subtitles on/off; switching on with that displayed subtitles, pressing the remote button had no effect at all. The TV settings were also irrelevant (we have subtitles OFF all the time but they were displayed when the DVD was set ON). It seems to prove that subtitles are a switched feature of the DVD itself NOT the player or the TV ie, the DVD itself adds the subtitles to the picture it sends to the TV.
