"Dead Like Me" - a quick question.
Since my last blind buy ("Wonderfalls") was such a positive surprise, I have decided to buy "Dead Like Me". It seems like a great show and the the two seasons doesn't cost much, but there is one problem; subtitles. Well, the lack of subtitles, I should say. I live in Europe, and our TV sets doesn't support CC, so I have to know if I can choose the CC from the DVD menu.
Can anyone help?

No English subtitles on Season 1, just CC. Don't know about Season 2.

Thanks for the answers!
That's a shame. I'll probably skip this one for now.

Do you mean Home Theater PC's, or DVD players with the option to download software? It would be great if I could find a cheap DVD player that displays CC.

No DVD players will decode closed captioning. Here in the US, that is a function of the television set, not the DVD player.

timbre or anyone,
Is this true ?
Iīve read in the 300īs User Manual that:
"In this menu you can enable or disable the closed captions feature. These are especially for hearing impaired people. Please note that the DVD has to support this feature. Furthermore, you need a video subtitle decoder"
This means that the entry means that the player is capable of sending the required Closed Caption signals to the TV or decoding box.
So:
Do I need a separate Closed Captions decoder or not ?
Acording to timbre : No
Acording to the User Manual : Yes ( .. I suppose )
I have to know for sure ... so
Please:
Can anyone actually try a R1 Closed Captions only DVD and see what happens in your 300īs Cyberhome equipment ?
I suppose thatīs the only way to be sure.
Thanks in advance.
