Significant Other sleep soundly while they watch television. Closed Captions, when they are decoded by the television, will usually appear as white letters in a black box. 525 Lines comprise a television signal. Lines 1-21 are used for vertical blanking with the captioning signal being encoded on Line 21, while the active video feed begins at Line 22. These are often used on news and talk show programs and at large public events such as political gatherings and demonstrations.
Subtitles thus translate only the spoken word.
Thus, the subtitles, when chosen from the DVD menu, will not identify this sound. Same with music and lyrics, such as the Wayne Newton song used in the film to kill off the aliens. The lyrics and song identification are not included as a part of the subtitles. Also, Subtitles and Closed Captions, when chosen via the DVD main menu will appear as letters or symbols superimposed upon the picture itself with no background coloring or blacking. These must be turned on or off via the DVD menu or remote and are therefore defeatable.
