    those two panasonic models aren't blu-ray though. my HDTV (sony bravia 46") came with a free samsung blu-ray player. I bought the TV in December, but I haven't watched a blu-ray movie yet. I just bought an HDMI cable last week but I have not hooked it up yet. Reading thru this thread, I...

    Please tell Blu-Ray to support Closed Caption CC

    yes, I back when I got the machine, I did try setting my blu-ray player on "480i" but I still didn't see any captions. It could be my TV. It's an LCD TV (not HD) from back in 2004. I was wondering something else. If I have my blu-ray player connected to my TV with old a/v cables, AND at the...

    Please tell Blu-Ray to support Closed Caption CC

    some people, like me, bought a new blu-ray player, expecting to be able to watch their existing DVD collection. Many of my DVDs are CC, but not subtitled. I have my new blu-ray player hooked up with regular old audio video cables, just to see CC. Kind of defeats the purpose of buying the...

    Trying to understand closed captions with HDTVs

    Hi, I'm new here. I actually registered just now, to ask the exact same question that opening poster Erik asked. I just had a new sony bravia 46" HDTV delivered 2 days ago. Unfortunately, it did not even cross my mind to research CC first. I have been watching CC since 1985 when I lost 75%...
