Hello,
As far as I know there is no MediaTek 1389 based player with right subtitle
support. Yamada published recently firmware for 6600 player with subtitles,
but it is far from perfect (aligned left instead of centered, long lines
croped, no national characters).
Elta promises new firmware since January, but most people already lost the
hope. The problem is that firmware for MediaTek based players is written
only by MediaTek itself in Taiwan. In fact Elta and rest of distributors can
do nothing. Even worse: the newest firmware for Yamada 6600 is 1299 kB big.
Elta sells at least three 8883 models: old 8883, newer 8883A and the newest
8883 "with sticker" units. Only old 8883 series have 4 MB of flash ROM,
newer versions are equipped only with 1 MB of flash. I guess not every 8883
user will get subtitles...
Regards,
Thomas

Now, that CAN'T be good!! And maybe explains the delay in posting the 8883A firmware...
Of course they may actually be ensuring that the 'old 8883' firmware keeps to the 1mb limit to ensure easy ports between the different systems.
