What is the model of your DVD player?

From what I know, the CC signal is stripped through the cable. They designed it to transmit only the video and audio, not a third signal. The only way to get CC is to have a DVD player with a CC decoder built-in, or in the DVR, HDTV receivers, etc.

I have heard that Panasonic DMREZ28, the DVD recorder/player is capable of overlaying the CC signal onto the video signal.
