Yeah you can turn on Irken-language captions (subtitles). It's a very geeky feature.

As for turning on closed-captioning, is that something I do through my TV set or something? Because there's no option for English subtitles on the DVDs. I *never* use closed-captioning, so I seriously don't know how to turn it on.

What do they Irken captions look like? Just subtitles in Irken language? Does the DVD give you a translation of the words?

Well, they're subtitles in Irken (maybe made with the Irken font you can download online), but it doesn't look like they took the real English subtitles and then turned them into the Irken font, it *looks* like they just typed a bunch of gobbledegook using the Irken font. Like, the words don't match up or anything.

Closed captions are something you do through the tv. As for how to put them on, I don't think I'd be able to help since every remote control differs on where to turn on this feature. On my remote, I press "Action", and then choose "TV" on my screen. The closed caption feature is autimatically there. All I have to do is press "Action" again until it reads CC1.
The DVDs probably lack the English subtitles feature because they already have CC.

Yeah my brother told me how to do it. You learn something new every day.

I'll try it later.
