Subtitles appearing on screen in recording mode on LG RHT497H

Try switching subtitles Off, then On again. Otherwise a factory reset will normally restore the function. Note that a factory reset will not delete recordings, but you will need to retune and re-program timers

Hi - welcome to FixYa,

There are 2 methods for changing the subtitle settings on your DVD player.

Method 1.
To turn off the subtitles on your DVD player during playback:

1. Press the "SUBTITLE" button on your remote control
The subtitle button is just below the "0" (zero) numerical key on the remote control. It is marked "SUBTITLE" above the button and the button has "ABC" written inside a white rectangle on it.
2. Use the left "<" and right ">" arrow keys to change the subtitle setting
Each time you press an arrow key the subtitle language will change and eventually the language will read "OFF". The subtitles are now switched off during playback.

Method 2.
To turn disc subtitles off from the main menu:

1. Press the "MENU/LIST" button on your remote control (directly below "STOP")
The main menu will now appear
2. Press the down arrow key on your remote once to highlight "A" in the left hand column of the main menu
3. Press the right arrow key on your remote once to move to the right-hand column of the menu
4. Press the down arrow twice to highlight "Disc Subtitle"
5. Use the left and right arrow keys to change the subtitle options until your required choice is displayed
6. Once set, press the "MENU/LIST" button again to exit the menu.

This should solve your problem, but if you need any further assistance, please post back.

Regards,

Usually, if the subtitles are from your dvd player, you can go to the main menu, select "languages" or "setup" (depending on the dvd), and find the subtitle option. You should be able to shut them off there in the menu. If the subtitles are there because of your tv, there should be a button labeled "cc" on your remote. If you press this key a few times, it should eventually read something like "cc off" on the tv screen. I hope this helps, and good luck! Sincerely, Der Strom

I have the LG DVD recorder DRT389H which has the same problem. You can't switch off the subtitles during timer recording from the Electronic Programme Guide. The only way I could stop this was to go to the main set-up menu then select the A icon. Select DTV Subtitle and choose a language that the TV programme isn't broadcast in. I chose Gaelic. The only disadvantage is that this stops any subtitles being recorded so you can't access them later.

sometimes, subtitles are recorded with the movie itself.

Contact your TV service supplier to be sure that subtitles are available in HD ...

There is a subtitle button on the remote that you can push to remove the subtitles. EASY FIX.

Easy Menu
Setup
A – DTV Closed Caption - OFF (Make sure it is turned off) I am not sure what activates this to ENGLISH but it can be switched off.

it is quite easy to play those anoying subtitles first name the same way both files (video file and subtitle file) example movie.avi movie.srt be sure that both files are in the same folder second: insert the cd/dvd in the yht-630 when the menu appears select the subtitle file using the arrow keys and press the "subtitle" key after this at the screen you will see -> subtitle selected finally select the file that contains the movie (again arrow keys) and press "ok" or "play " key the movie will start and the subtitles will appear. it functions with sub and srt files
