I recently bought a 32" LCD HDTV (Samsung LN-T3242H), and I love it. But I'm
having a problem that I never had with CRT TVs -- when watching DVDs with
closed captioning, the captioning doesn't appear when I'm using the HDMI
connection. Subtitles work fine, but many (especially older) DVDs have
subtitles only in French or Spanish, and only closed captioning in English.
Pressing the "Caption" button on the TV remote just gives a "Not available"
message on screen, and nothing I can do at the player end (Panasonic
DVD-S53) helps either. On TV channels, whether digital or analog, CC works
fine.
When I connect the player by component cables I don't get captioning either.
When I connect by the old standard yellow-red-white cables for video and
audio I get the captioning just fine, but of course with a noticeably
inferior picture.
So my questions are:
1. Why doesn't CC work with HDMI or component connections?
2. If I get an S-video cable, which I presume will give me at least some
improvement over composite, will CC work with that?
(I have studied the manuals carefully and cannot find answers to these
questions.)
