I couldn't find this posted before, if it was please lock or delete.

I went to watch PotC last night on my Cyberhome 500 and Closed Captioned subtitles defaulted on and there was no way to turn it off, using either the remote or the menu. When I tried it on my Philips it worked fine. Looks like it is a player specific problem so be aware.

Thanks for the heads up!

Off-topic: Is the Cyber Home 500 a region free DVD player?

Many people have reported having problems with the CH-500 where subtitles default on for many films, if not every film. I've never had this problem with my player. Anyway, it's doubtful that this is actually a problem with the PotC disc.

I wish I had this film for tonight! Oh well, I'll just watch X-Men and X-2! COME ON TUESDAY! Best release date EVER! (Alien Quad, POTC, DS9 S.7!)!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I'm having that exact same double feature tonight. Half done.

Also can't wait for Pirates. I'll be as I'm stocking the shelves with tons and tons of copies.

I've had the same subtitle problem with several movies on my CH500, along with trouble playing any Columbia discs with commentary tracks (the movies have to be started from the chapter selection screen, otherwise the player will get stuck in a loop).

Glad I kept my previous player as a backup.

Cosmic Bus, just go to CyberHome's website and download the new firmware image for your player.

the latest firmware fixes the looping commentary warning issue, among many reported problems.

Ah, thank you!

This is the only disc I have had a problem with on the Cyberhome 500, though I don't use it as my primary player, it is the region free in my bedroom.

Never had that looping commentary issue either.
