Can subtitles be repositioned?
Yes, as of the 48-1224 firmware (January 5, 2010). There is a setting to control subtitle position in Setup -> Video Setup -> Display Options -> Subtitle Shift. More conveniently there is an onscreen control to shift subtitles interactively: • Press and hold the Subtitle button on the remote. An onscreen widget will appear. • Use the up and down arrow keys to position the subtitles where you want them. • Press Enter. This works even while playback is paused. Whatever setting you choose is automatically saved in Setup. Note that this works for DVD and Blu-ray both with and without BD-Java features. It does not work for media file subtitles. Another restriction is that the shift is purely “up” and “down”. Sometimes subtitles appear high on the display (for example, so as not to obscure onscreen credits) and it would be nice if these were shifted down when lower titles were shifted up, but the player does not currently do that. Note Subtitle shifting is a feature the Constant Image Height
