we should change "videotape" to "recordable media" in the first two
categories in order to address DVD and other media that includes caption
data."

so my question is, how do we plug this gap.
I don't think changing "video-tape" to recordable media plugs the gap.

Basically this category of product has the DVD (media) reader and
monitor together, integrated.

Shouldn't such a device be required to present captioning if present in
the media it plays?
