Do some DVD players allow you to toggle just one subtitle stream?

My Momitsu V880 DVD player is pretty OK (an early deck that upconverts to 720p) but I wonder if there are players that let you only pay attention to one subtitle stream. If there are several streams (some movies have 4 or 5!), you have to press the button many times to turn off subtitles on my deck. And on my deck, I have to wait at least a second between pushes, a real annoyance.

This is a feature that really doesn't need to exist... so I'm going to assume that the answer is no.

I would give this feature some priority in my next DVD player purchase. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who feel as I do about this. It would be easy to implement, seems to me.

Imagine how much time is lost per year cycling thru the menu...1 movie per day x 5 seconds is ~30 minutes a year wasted. Imagine how much more we could all accomplish with these wasted seconds.
