CC is handled by your tv's CC decoder. Subtitles are handled by the dvd
player, and you can choose from any of the available subtitles streams on a
disk, usually a couple of languages if it has them that the dvd player
overlays on the picture...your tv overlays the CC, and since they intended
for the hearing impaired, there are also other references like "music
playing", etc....that wouldnt usually be found in subtitles....which are
more intended for the non-hearing impaired, but maybe just language
challenged....
