johneboy Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have SONY DSTHD500 HIGH DEF and I am generally happy with it. Strangely in the first month I lost audio twice (but got it back with a factory reset). However its been running ok since then. However I have not worked out to use the box to access subtitles when they come with a program. There is nothing in the manual about it. It talks about teletext but not subtitles? Boy wish the remote had a "subtitles" button Is there a way to access subtitles on this box? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterfingers Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 subtitles only work on channel seven for some reason (yaaayyyyy:|) To access it, be on channel 7, hit the teletext button (under power button on remote) the press 8,0,1 to get the subtitles. to remove subtitles or change channel, u have to press teletext button again first. maybee someone will know why we only get this feature on channel 7. My freind has a stb (i dont know the brand sorry), which he can get subtitles on all channels i think (i have definately watched ch10 with subtitles on it, eg. The simpsons, news). it would be nice to have access to it on all channels like that. seems just a tad strange that it isnt. o well........... its not as annoying as not getting channel 31 on digital....... that really sucks the big one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the only unfortunate thing about this box. I like to use subtitles when the kids are noisy. If I miss something said I can find out what I missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterfingers Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 u think this could eventually be remedied with a software upgrade, or is it a hardware issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
