are used for the file name, the subtitle file may not be
recognized.
The character code for the subtitle file should comply with
●
ISO-8859-1. Using characters other than ISO-8859-1 may
cause the characters to be displayed incorrectly.
The subtitles may not be displayed correctly if the displayed
●
characters in the subtitle file include control code.
For materials that use a high transfer rate, the subtitles and
●
video may not be completely synchronized.
If multiple subtitles are programed to display within a very
