It is not even explained in the manual. We've spent hours trying to figure out where the captioning is and have looked at all the "options" on the menu and NOTHING !! Anyone else out there with a Magnavox TV that's had this problem?

It won't cover on digital source, such as component or HDMI because not all HDTV will support CC on video out from component or HDMI, this law is just old and still cover on analog.
You need get Sony HDTV, that's friendly for deaf people because CC will support on digital source like component or HDMI but I know that Sony HDTV is expensive, compared to other brand but more worth, I will switch to Sony HDTV in near future, as added on my list.
Other thought, try use BD or HD-DVD movies instead of DVD movies because you will get SDH if your HDTV don't support CC via component or HDMI.
