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

Yes HDMI is only there for 2 signals but CC is required by law to be part of the video signal. It is not and never has been a 3rd signal. according to law: (from the FCC.gov website)
(4) Closed captioning. The visual display of the audio portion of video programming contained in line 21 of the vertical blanking interval (VBI) pursuant to the technical specifications set forth in Section 15.119 of this chapter or the equivalent thereof.
They did this on purpose so it would be stuck inside of the video signal so broadcasters could not use any excuse for not sending through the captions.
