Subtitles

I have just bought a Sony Bravia KDL-32we613 to replace an older Sony Bravia which unfortunately wont support iplayer anymore. Now I find, on the new one, I have to switch subtitles on for every programme rather than having them on permanently, and this is so annoying. Does anyone know if theres a way I can keep them on? When I go into Options, subtitles is says they are off but I can find no way of changing that. Ive been having a 'Grrrr' afternoon!

If you can help, a big thankyou.

Hi @tolemancat, welcome to the community.

Are you using a digital text application? The manual for your TV says:

Note If subtitles are selected and the user launches a digital text application via ‘text’ key, subtitles may, under certain circumstance stop being displayed. When the user exits the digital text application, subtitle decoding will resume automatically

Cheers

No, change channels and the subtitles disappear. Needs fixing in next software upgrade.
