Question: how do you turn off subtitles?   When playing a dvd and pushing the subtitles button it shows "off", but subtitles continue to show on screen.
Document: I got this for my son's room and it worked fine the first time we used it. The very next night, we tried to watch a movie again and it kept giving a "disk is dirty" error message. The disk was BRAND NEW! We kept trying it, cleaned the disk anyway and after unplugging it, it started to work.The next night...my son put a dvd in and the screen said "playing," but the picture didn't show.
I like the fact that this player is so small. It sits just under one side of the front edge of my flat screen TV. The only thing I don't particularly care for is that is seems to be slow to open. You turn it on...it says "load" and you wait and it does not open so you have to punch the button again for it to "open."
As stated in the other review, the remote to this DVD player does not have an open/eject button. I know it isn't such a big deal, but sometimes at night I have to pop open the dvd player to add another DVD and have to turn on the light. I assumed since it was the 21st century that a simple eject button would be available! Other then that, the quality of the dvd player is TREMENDOUS!
Nowhere on the box does it list the 90 day warranty, so you don't find out until you buy, bring it home, unbox it, and read the fine print.The movie just stopped playing in the middle of the show. The discs just insert, but never spin up. It's like the motor that spins the discs died, so nothing will load.Come to find out the Sony player says "Made in China." So Sony, is using outsourcing to China too.
The only problem is there is no eject button on the remote, but I remember as a child having to change channels manually, and to turn the tv on and off manually , so this really is not a big issue. I would recommend it. You cant go wrong for the price paid.
I bought this DVD player to go with my new HDTV and I have to say the picture is absolutely fantastic with the fullest screen possible and no distortion. But I like to run the closed captioning and that's where I have my only complaint - when playing musicals I get captioning for the dialogue, but not the songs. So if captioning is not as issue for you, snag this puppy up! Full, crystal clear picture, great sound, and a great price.
No problems at all. My old toshiba one would always pause at least once during a movie. So far this one has played everything perfectly. They are all comercial store bought dvd's.Also if you stop the dvd and turn off the player and leave the dvd in the player, when you turn it on you can resume it from where you left off.Kevin
Following that philosophy, you also have to turn it on before you can insert a DVD, and you're right there when you remove one, so why have an on-off button. Same goes for Play, just have a pause/unpause button.As another reviewer said, who would think that today a DVD remote wouldn't have an eject button? Is it absolutely necessary? No. Neither is a remote. I, however, am one that uses the eject button all the time.
Replaced a Toshiba DVD player that lasted a good many years. Went with the Sony SR500H player, which had an HDMI output the older Toshiba lacked. Well, a few things were lacking on the Sony player, it lacks a zoom and an eject button. It has buttons to turn off the TV and DVD player, but no eject like all the other players had. The biggest problem with the player, is it just died after only 4 months.
Took it out of the box and installed it  Sony DVP-SR500H). Wouldn't play dvd. Tried several. It "loads" then hangs up and freezes. Only way to turn it off is to unplug it. Repeat again. The dvd's I tried all played on the old dvd, which is reinstalled. I thought maybe it was me. The cable guy came a couple days later to install an additional cable box. Easier then me driving 30 miles one way for pickup.
Answer: I've never had this happen and the reference guide does not mention this condition.  I would contact the manufacturer.
