![]() All my computer's DVD playback programs include them, so it doesn't seem too difficult or expensive to do. ![]() The problem is that many Blu-Ray players have NO analog video outputs AT ALL, only HDMI, so these should include a closed-caption decoder. I have my Oppo BDP-93 player hooked up with both HDMI and component so that I can switch to the component at 480i to access captions and switch to HDMI at 1080p otherwise. If we every do see standalone Blu-ray recorders released in the United States with a ATSC/QAM tuner they will be required to have a close caption decoder.Īlthough I'm not hard-of-hearing, I've always been interested in how captions are done and always watch my movies at least one time with them on. Standalone 480i DVD recorders that are currently on the market with a built in ATSC/QAM tuner have close caption built in, however when one attempts to playback the recording the close captioning feature on some models might not work since the close caption is sometimes a feature of the ATSC tuner and not designed to work from a DVD recording. At this time only products that contain a built in ATSC/QAM tuner are mandated by the FCC to have a close caption decoder built in. Since all new Blu-ray titles and DVD titles have advanced subtitle features already, mandating the feature on all new players would cost the consumer electronics industry to much money. The theory is that some Blu-ray’s or DVD’s might also be encoded with close caption on the disc if the subtilte feature does not exist.Īs far as I am aware there is no FCC mandate to require close caption decoders in Blu-ray and DVD players. The close caption feature only becomes important on a DVD title and Blu-ray title that does not have a subtitle option feature. Most DVD’s also have subtitle options that are better than close caption feature (one can choose English, English SDH, etc). For hard of hearing: Subtitles display audio portion and non-speech elements of the content, such as door knocking sound.Since almost all Blu-ray titles released since 2006 has a subtitle feature that can be turned on, this close caption feature is a non issue for Blu-ray titles.Basic: Subtitles only display the audio portion of the content.Press the SUBTITLE ( CC) or MENU button on the TV remote control to select either Basic or For hard of hearing. ![]() Two types of subtitles might be available, depending on the TV program. The specifications of Google Play Movies & TV and Netflix are subject to change without notice.
