I can watch Amazon Instant Videos using this DVD player, but do not know how to enable subtitles when watching them. Is there a way?

I have Netflix, the CC are a function of Amazon. If no one here answers how to do it your best bet is to call Amazon tech support. CC works fine with Netflix.

Same problem here. I have been looking into flashing the firmware on my LG BD-590 blu-ray player with the app for Amazon instant video to Netcast. Have not found anything yet. I think when a manufacturer flashes the software to the firmware chip then that is the end of it. LG just recently added Amazon to Netcast on the new models. So we may have to purchase another devise to get the Amazon Netcast app. What I have been doing to watch Amazon VOD is to use my laptop HDMI out to my HD TV. Just logon to your Amazon Prime account and watch on PC or video out to TV via HDMI if you have that capability.

You can play movies on it, but it is hard to figure out how to do this. Let me explain. I have a USB with 127 movie files on it. I plugged it in to this IVIEW and selected USB as the source. I got the first avi file to play, but I could not figure out to access its subtitles even though the srt file name was displayed. In order to read the remaining 126 files I had to stop the film and then select the USB again. The IVIEW displayed the USB folders much faster than any other player I own. I somehow managed to access a video_ts folder and got that film to play. Again no subtitles could be accessed. When I went back to access some other film files I could not remember what buttons I pushed to view the previous film. There are no instructions from IVIEW on how to use the remote control buttons to access the various video folders. Most of the remote control buttons seem totally useless to me. I pressed every button and it kept saying "feature not available at this time" or some other negative statement. There are many options offered on the right had side of the screen display, but none of these make the film file play on the TV. One would think that selecting the folder and then pressing the PLAY button would work. No it does not. The player seems to have a good brain software with terrible operating instructions and useless remote control. This player does well with avi and other files that are burned on to discs. For my USB film files I always use my Western Digital streamer [the disc menu features work best on the streamer] or my Philips 5990/5992 dvp.

So, it can't burn DVDs to be watched on a traditional DVD player, but can it play DVDs? Also, another customer mentioned that it can't play a u-tube video, is that true?

I have the same issue when i go to the amazon app or push the amazon button on my remote I get a screen that is grey that says "The amazon instant application is currently unavailable while we are working hard to bring you an updated, feature rich, application. For more details, please visit http://www.amazon.com/videohelp" has anyone actually gotten an amazon app that works on this tv? Or getting the same thing I am? The web page it says to go to is just a link to amazon cust. support.

whenever I try to watch an Amazon video it says that I don't have the most recent version of flash. But according to the Market I do. I can watch netflix & google vids fine but anything from Amazon gets thwarted. If anyone here knows what I need to do to fix this I would be SOOOO grateful!!!

Yeah, I'm stuck using Netflix + Vudu despite being an Amazon junkie. Would love to watch Amazon movies on one of my devices (xbox 360, boxee, apple tv), but none of them support it. Come on Amazon. Kindle rules because it works on every device, why isn't Amazon video the same?

I am also looking for a way to play foreign DVDs on my American tv. Let me share with you some of what I have learned. First of all, if you purchased your Vizio here in the states it is probably NTSC format. That poses a problem because foreign DVDs are mostly in PAL format. Please note that this is different from the region coding issue. I have a region-free DVD player that I cannot use because my tv is not PAL compatible. You must have a DVD player that is both multi-system (PAL and NTSC) and region-free (0,1,2,3,4,5,6). Make sure that whatever player you choose will also play RCE DVDs. These are the enhanced discs Hollywood uses to prevent people in other regions from playing them on anything other than standard American DVD players. In other words, bear in mind when selecting your DVD player that you must still have a way to make your NTSC tv display the PAL movies--simply buying a region-free player is not sufficient. Some websites offer DVD players with built-in PAL to NTSC converters. With one of these, all you need to do is choose the proper cable to connect the DVD player to your Vizio. If you choose a DVD player that does NOT convert, you must buy an external converter to connect the DVD player to your tv or buy a PAL compatible tv. I have decided to purchase a multi-system region-free DVD player with a built-in converter. It seems the simplest solution. Supposedly reputable websites seem to all offer warranties of a year or more on their products and have technical support available to you after purchase. I have not actually used any of these sites yet so I cannot recommend one from personal experience. I would suggest you browse the internet to see what's out there, then use the contact information given on any website that has a product that seems to suit your needs to call the company and ask questions. Hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Or, better yet, that you have already solved your problem and are happily watching your DVDs right now.

If you side load flash and use Firefox browser yes . When at Amazon.com go to your movie list and make your selection, when it brings up the player it will say not compatible just scroll down until you get to the bottom and click where it says amazon full site and then enjoy. Oh if you select full screen in the player it plays full screen

My Amazon Instant Video does have the My Watchlist that I see can have Movies and TV shows. I'm not sure how I can get to watch on my TV. I can watch on my computer!

I have not succeeded in setting up Amazon Video directly on this set. Instead, I set up Amazon Video on my connected TIVO. Also, some modern BluRay players, and other streaming devices like ROKU can access Amazon Video. Sorry if this is not much help.

No. I contacted Netgear about this very thing and they said that these players do not support html 5, the format necessary for Amazon Instant video.

If the channel provider has subtitles, then it's an option with the Roku 2. When I click on a title in Netflix I now have an extra option of "Audio/Subtitles" where I can turn them on & off.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

I'm sorry but I don't use amazon instant videos so I don't know. I cannot play Netflix or Hulu, either. Can you?

Amazon Customer, Subtitles are supported for some films. Not all Netflix streaming titles have Subtitles, but if they do, the player will support them. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I have had the same problem. Plays iTunes videos only as far as I can tell. Unless I'm missing something, if you want to play Amazon videos, for instance, you're out of luck.
