I'm not sure if this will be very helpful, as I don't own that version of the DVD, these are just my guesses. Are you sure the DVD has Chinese subtitles at all? The description doesn't say anything about subtitles. Most HK versions are just cheaper versions of the same exact product, made only to be sold outside of Japan, and don't usually come with special subtitles. With most DVDs no matter what the language, the subtitles can be turned on and off, so it's probably the same with this one.

yes they do have chinese subtitle. play-asia doesnt mention this but some seller at ebay mentioned it.

i have the AAA in dome DVD, the HK version and it does have the subtitle. it automatically comes out once i play the DVD so i'm pretty sure it can't be turned off since usually for DVDs we have to choose the subtitle before it appears or else it'll just play without the subtitle.the subtitle is a bit distracting to me when i watch the dvd (>,<) i've never tried to turn off the subtitle though. i wanna try it but the DVD is at home and i'm at the campus.

anyway, thanx!

Sometimes you have to turn subtitles on and off with the remote - I know on one of my Japanese DVDs, there was no option on the menu to turn them on, but when I pushed the subtitle button on my remote they came on. You could always try that if you end up buying it, but then you wouldn't know for sure until you had it =/

I bought the HK ver. of the Around Asia DVD and I'm pretty sure the subtitles are stuck, though I've never really tried to take them off. The most important thing is the different DVD region factor D:

yeah i got that one too and the subtitle is a bit distracting to me ^^;;

i wanna confirm if i could turn off the subtitle in that DVD but i'm not at home right now, n the DVD is there safe n secured in my room.

I have AAA as well and I'm sure it can't be turned off, because I tried that several times before. And it IS distracting >.< Grr!

Btw, I think this Time con is not on sale because their sale in only for in-stock items, so you can buy this anytime.

hi! i just happen to own the HK version of the TIME con. I tried turning it off to no avail. Sadly, I think it can't be helped. It's distracting, yes, but after watching it a couple of times, I got used to it.

I'm pretty sure it can't be turned off since i have the HK versions for both Time con and AAA in Dome. D: Personally i find it a little distracting during the performance with those chinese characters sticking out at the bottom, except for the mc part where i'll finally understand what they're talking about!

Region code and $$ issues so i got to stick with hk/tw versions i guess!

Hope that helps! :)
