Does the DMP-BD91 support CAPTIONS on Amazon Prime Instant Video? (My recent Samsung smart TV does; my older Sony Blu Ray does not, for example.)

Friend, could you tell me if it offers CAPTIONS when downloading like a Netflix movie?? My son can do this and I can't, and I'm very hard of hearing so cannot understand anything without the CAPTIONS!! (I also have an older Sony Blu-Ray)! (My tv does support it)

yes it does. That's why I purchased it. My older Panasonic DMP-BD89P-K did not.

based on what i am finding out via searches, HDMI cables do not carry the CC captioning in the video feed. note: subtitles on dvd's do not equal closed captionings, 2 different things this is why you can view subtitles on dvds through hdmi hookup. only work around i have found is to hook up with the old video feed, i.e. yellow rca jack to the tv, then use this video feed as input source on tv when you want cc's.

I just signed up for Amazon Prime and have had my Panasonic DMP-BD89 player for 2 years. Is it compatible with this model yet?

I am not seeing the ability to stream Amazon instant video. Anyone know how to do this. My old Blu Ray player kept adding channels to installation.

Well, I haven't been able to get it to work. I purchased it from Amazon for the particular reason to watch Prime movies and when I wrote to them about it, the answer was...Oh well! I still haven't been able to get it to work because it is not listed in their streaming device list.

I called their customer service on 12/22/12 and was told that LG is working on the App software for amazon instant video for my 47lm7600 model. The impression I got from the conversation was that most if not all of the smart tv's will have this updated in the future. He couldn't tell me exactly when. Right now this feature isn't available on any LG tv if I understood him correctly.

from what I can tell, it doesn't - it's not on the list for Amazon Instant Video. You'll need to get a different BlueRay player. Note - I have the same problem. I thought it would work - it should since it's wireless, but players have to have some sort of protocol to protect movies from being copies as they're streamed. Those are the only devices allowed for AIV. Sucks, doesn't it?

I updated to the latest FW as of Sept 2015. It works with Amazon but has some problems. CC doesn't work correctly - If you turn it on, then off, then back on, it will permanently display "This is sample text" on your screen with no more captions. If you try to fast forward or rewind, it gets mixed up on where it is. Fast forward may dump you near the beginning of the movie. Seems to be random. This makes it very hard to back up and replay something you've missed. Finally, after about 15 minutes of play, it will go to a screen saver screen. You just need to push a remote button to clear this. Sad that Sony can fix these FW issues. I updated to the latest FW as of Sept 2015. It works with Amazon but has some problems.

It should be there. My remote has a "netflix" button on it. But the app is also on there. You could try going to the Apps and downloading it from there. My irritation is that I got Amazon Prime and it won't work on my Samsung blu ray player with the smart hub.

According to LG no.http://answers.lg.com/answers/7676/product/MD00002501/lg-electronics-bp220-questions-answers/questions.htm?sort=recentq "Amazon Instant Video and Amazon Prime have not been added to any of our 2012 Smart TV model lines, which includes the Smart TV BluRay players.

From what I can tell none of the Samsung players support Amazon Prime vids. We have a Sony and a Samsung player. The Sony has a bunch of apps including Amazon. The Samsung is very crude by comparison when it comes to supported apps. Must be a turf issue between Samsung, Sony and Amazon.

For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video. If you look at the history of questions on this device, or Google for information, you'll find quite a few frustrated with this. You can't get it as a "Yahoo Widget" (2009-2010 models only) and the Samsung App is only available on 2012 models and later. I was just looking for it today out of curiosity (I was updating the PLEX app) and was sad to see it isn't there. I have many other options, but it does seem obnoxious that they can't fix this minor detail, when Netflix and other Samsung Apps seem to work fine on this TV.

You need to switch to an analog input to the TV for cc. HDMI does not transmit cc info (onlu subtitles). I have an HDMI connection I use for BD and most DVDs. I also have a regular analog (video and audio cable) connection to an additional TV input that I select I need to use closed captioning. Both can be connected at the same time and then just switch between inputs on the TV.

Hi Lonnie,I haven't tried it with Amazon Prime but have used it with Netflix. I don't believe that you can record shows from these services but I believe that you should have no trouble viewing content.Enjoy,Bob
