DVD Players
~ Last Updated: November 2005

     This list was created January 2005. Due to the rapidly change in technology, these DVD machines may already be "old" and no longer manufactured.  
     You should bring a closed-captioned DVD to a store and ask them to play it in the DVD you want to buy. Be sure the TV has the closed-caption setting turned on during the test!

These will display captions on closed-captioned DVDs

  • Pioneer (DV-363)

  • Samsung (DVD-V3500 - combo)
