Hi - yeah, it's possible to remove the subtitles manually - but you have to go into the media player settings, select subtitles, then "off", then "OK", then return etc. ... the whole thing takes over 10 presses and it just gets a bit frustrating having to do it EVERY time, lol. I was just wondering if there's an option so the default subtitle setting on the media player is "off"...it would make more sense!? Cheers.
