I purchasde smp-n200 but I cant enable closed captioning in nerflix. Is there some kind of trick? thx

Netflix is not showing closed caption/subtitle support in its list of features for the SMP-N200 (and a bunch of other Sony products). It is supported in the player on the 2012 BD players but Netflix doesn't have a feature page for them.

As an example of a device which does have caption support, you can see it listed as a feature of the TiVo Premiere's player here.

I really like the You Tube implementation on this unit. I wish all of them worked the same.

I have my SMP-N200 installed and working primarily by streaming photos, music, and video from my PC using DLNA. The PC is running Homestream as the DLNA Server and it sees the SMP-N200 client. Almost everything seems to work well. Music and video is no problem. Some of myu older photos are displayed properly. However, all my newer photos, taken with a Sony NEX-7 camera in JPEG format, will not display. The wierd part is that I can see thumbnails of the images, but when I select an image I get a blank screen for the full size image after about 3-4 seconds of the circle hourglass. I have searched the internet (Google, Bing, etc.) and haven't seen anyone have this issue. I've tried my SMP-N200 as well as my friends, and both exhibit the exact same symptom. I've played around with the screen settings in the settings menu of the SMP-N200, but nothing makes any difference. Any ideas?
Regards

I bought the n200 because I needed component out for use on an older tv, all the other streamers are hdmi only, so far ok

I recently went through my house and tested all my electronic equipment for power consumption using a Kill-a-watt meter. For anyone interested the SMP uses about 6 watts while on. I found it interesting that the SMP uses 4 watts in standby. Turning the "Quickstart" feature off allowed the device to fully turn off which will save about $3.50 annually .

By comparison, my Roku 2 XS only uses 1 watt.

After installing an old Samsung 160 (3.5") into SATA to USB shell, I thought I could have all my old movies ready to go for this neat little Sony media player.

As it turned out, external HDD enclosures are not set up quite like USB flash drives. For instance, even though their USB device class is still Mass Storage, their interface mode permits bulk data transfer only.

Perhaps it is for this and other similar reasons, Sony SMP-N200 will not do business with devices like my external disk drive.

I'm not too upset, because this drive is as noisy as a ceiling fan.

HELP!? It plays all my stuff fine EXCEPT for my 1080p MKV files. Instead of allowing the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, it forces the picture to stretch TALL. Argh! Can't fix in the settings or with aspect ratio of the TV. Anyone have a clue?

I just learned to live with it, I can't find a solution either.

yea, I gave up too....... I use my WDTV to watch 1080p movies on the projector and the Sony is only used on the other TV for the kids to watch their 720p movies that play fine. thanks!
