Just starting with the last couple of Netflix DVDs, they come up with English
subtitle enabled, which are difficult or impossible to turn off! I got them
off last week, but can't do it today.
I thought I remember either turning them off in the menu several times, or
maybe toggling them on/off/on/off etc., but neither strategy seems to help
tonight :-(
Explanation? Hints? It's really bugging me.

Physical DVD, in English, with English subtitles.
I can change the subtitles to French, for example, but not turn them off in
the same menu.
There is only one user on the system, so I can't try a different one.

Someone suggested it was a setting in the App, and I found one to turn closed
captioning off. No idea how it got turned ON, but that seems to have fixed it.
It looks like it wasn't subtitles, it was closed captioning. Thanks all for
the suggestions.

DVD Player settings would be the logical place for that sort of thing.

My nearest Genius bar is over an hour away. Fortunately, suggestions I got
here led to the dicovery that it wasn't subtitles, but that somehow closed
captioning had been turned on, so I was able to fix it.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

I was going mental with the same problem. Most replies on this thread don't understand what you're asking. You're problem is independent of the subtitle features on each disc. It's also ANY disc, not just Netflix. This worked for me: Your "Closed Captioning" has been turned on accidentally. Choose "Turn Off Closed Captioning" from the Features Menu. Good luck!
