Not subtitles, but those like comes with broadcast TV programs.

Some of TV show DVDs don't have subtitles, but Closed Captions.
With my old DVD player, I can watch them. However, I can't find how
to turn it on on my ps3. Any one can help? THank you.

Nope. On occasions, I made a suggestion to a Sony insider that they update the firmware with a software CC decoder forcing the CC to overlay the video signal via HDMI cables.

So far, nothing.

I like to turn on subtitles myself on the Blu-Ray/DVDs that I watch and find the lack of captions for TV programs on my HDTV to be a tad annoying. I found this article that may enlighten some of us as to why closed captioning is not readily available for us in the HDTV market versus the SDTV crowd:
