6.1. Subtitles Cannot Be Turned Off

Some users have reported difficulty turning off subtitles directly from the disc menu. If you encounter this, try the following:

1. During playback, access your Blu-ray player's remote control and look for a "Subtitle" or "Sub" button. Pressing this button repeatedly should cycle through available subtitle options, including "Off" or "None".
2. If using the disc's menu, and "Off" is not an option, try selecting the last available subtitle language (e.g., Korean as mentioned in a review), then use your player's remote to toggle to the next subtitle option, which might be "None".
3. Ensure your Blu-ray player's firmware is up to date, as this can sometimes resolve playback issues.
