Anyone notice any captioning weirdness with Denon players??? I am seeing this on a 3910 and also an older 1600.
We watched the film last night with the English soundtrack, captioning and subtitles turned off (which appears to be the default setting, but I manually set it to Off anyway).
But whenever there is any signage in English (the AA Beers trolley car toward the beginning of the film, for example) I get a player generated English "translation" on the bottom of the screen! Nothing comes up for dialog...just when there are English signs on screen.
We first saw that on the title screen, but the translations appeared throughout the film. VERY ANNOYING!
I did some additional testing with the 1600, which does the same thing. It appears that if I toggle the language to something other than English, play the scene, reset to English and play it again, I can make it stop. But even that did not seem to work consistently.
I did play around with the subtitle button on the remote but that did not seem to affect the issue.
I will try this out on a 1st generation Sony and see what happens there.
EDIT: Tried it on my computer...same behavior, although I could toggle Subtitles Off in the computer and get it to stop. I will revsist that with my 3910.
