Subtitles "off" does not work on Sharp player

I have a menu pick created in DVDA 3.0 to "Set Subtitle Track" to "off".

On my Sharp DV-SL8 player the subtitle button on the remote works to turn subtitles off, and the DVD menu to switch between languages works, but the menu pick to turn subtitles off doesn't work, the subtitles stay on.

But the menu pick works fine in my older Pioneer DV-233 player and in WinDVD.

I tested a couple of Hollywood DVDs and the subtitles can be successfully turned off from the menu on that Sharp player, which makes me worry that DVDA may be setting subtitles off in a way that not all DVD players understand.

What do you think?

Nick, this under the hood investigation is relevant and is indeed supported by my real world testing across a test-bed of 15 different optical disc players. My test is independent of the methodology explored above, so I feel confident that we are finding out the same thing from a common cause.
