i just bought a sony klv42ex410 LED TV and i'd like to turn on the subtitles for my usb devices (using HDD atm). On the computer we usually use .srt right? so how to turn it on for the tv? or is the tv incapable of doing so? plz help. tq.

just put the same name for both subtitle and movie?

not working...anyting else? any sony led tv users here?

You play using what? From TV unit itself?

I think you have to do some research online...

DIfferent models use have different solutions....

Or just merge the subtitles into the movie itself....

yep.using tv itself

sure,i've searched online. no avail. i dun wana hard sub anything...

I have bought the same TV... (klv42ex410) few months ago...
also have same problem...

I did ask sony customer services, but, that person only said that TV only support certain format of subtitle. When I ask them what format of subtitle that the TV can support (by sending a ticket through sony website) , he said he don't know (he call me)... what a very poor customer service. if just to say don't know, don't have to call me laaaa... just wasting my time picking up the phone...

Why don't you try sending them a ticket... Hopefully the person that replying your ticket know the answer... I do send 2nd ticket (and also send message vis FB) , but there are no reply at all.

I also get this email... I think this is just a Joke from him...

thx lampor.ur very helpful...well d email reply is quite a joke! then wut did u reply?

Barely readable, not sure why is he hired as a manager in the first place. Well done Sony, well done.

I'm not their rep but I think the likelihood of it supporting subtitle files are slim. Having a subtitle file will often be associated with the fact that it is pirated in one way or another. Subtitles do come with movies but they do come with protected media like Bluray. If you were to play .srt files, it should have the same name and same directory as the file you're watching on a PC. TVs these days aren't as capable as PCs just yet, and their capabilities of reading certain file formats are therefore limited as well.

I would suggest that you skip with all the all in one stuff and make yourself a HTPC. It works a whole lot better and you could do more, just like you would with a PC with a 42" screen.

At least they call or email you guys though they didn't know what to answer. But it's funny tho. Good customer support but poor technical support. At least the email guy tell you what kind of sub is supported. Maybe you can ask him again?

i already bought d tv lol.

yeah,ur right good customer but bad technical support...

I'm aware of that. What I'm suggesting is just a workaround on this matter which gives you more options as well in the long run. HTPCs ain't expensive, you can build one for about RM500-1000.

From my experience , movie file with avi should be no problem, just make sure .srt should be the same with .avi exampla Spiderman.avi Spiderman.srt. but if that file is mkv or flv sometimes if u try the same method the srt wont be able to appear on the screen. Thats what happen to me. But i dont know why.. but AVI should be no problem.

haha.sori for misunderstanding...thx for ur advice

i see.err,i havent encountered 1080p stuff with .avi formats,only mkv...so how? sori noob.btw,wut tv u using?

Try to format to avi first and insert subtitle to the converted video. Or if the TV can load the .srt file with .avi, I guess no need to insert subtitle during conversion. Google for Format Factory. It's freeware and easy to use. Good luck mate.

I do ask again, but for d 2nd time, no answer until now...

But, in order to play HD movie, that HTPC needs a good graphic card rite?
How much the price for cheapest graphic card that can support HD movie?

You don't need a good GPU to play movies. If normal method, a cheap dual core Intel G620 gets the job done. If you want the GPU to do the video anyways, a cheap low end half height GPU gets the job done and need to install proper codecs to enable DXVA.

IGPU will be enough. The most important is the codec. I suggest you install K-Lite Mega Codec. Never let me down on slow pc or laptop. For high end cpu and gpu, go for SVP@Smooth Video Project.

Sorry to ask, maybe it lokks like stupid question, but I really don't know the hardware requirement to play HD movies.
You said slow pc also can, so how about this one:

Only RM99 hehe~
the cheapest PC I ever seen in market.
