Rf For Dummies

Please help with TV connections for electronics dummy here?

We just got a Samsung LCD (LNS4692D) with built-in HD (ATSC) tuner and 2 HDMI connections. We also have a Motorola DVR/HD box from Adelphia and an older Sony DVD player, nothing complicated (i.e. no surround sound system). The issue I have with the Samsung TV is I can't get closed caption.
According to Samsung website: "Any video source that is not connected to your TV's RF or Antenna inputs bypasses the TV's Closed Caption decoder. Consequently, if you have a set-top-box, cable box, satellite receiver, or any other video source connected to your TV using Composite video, S-Video, Component video, DVI, or HDMI, you will not be able to access and use the Closed Caption function when you watch TV using that source."
I'm not that good with all the technical stuff but isn't it kinda silly to connect your HD cable box to regular video source, doesn't that make it not high-def? My question is what can I do to get the best quality picture and closed caption too? Thanks.

Well, it does seem silly to bypass your HD connections, that's correct.

But you shouldn't have to.

The instructions are telling you that the tv can't decode captioning from anything other than tv broadcasts OTA.

However, most of your other sources DO provide captioning. You need to enable these captions through the setup features of the individual units. In other words, your DVD player will have a menu selection to enable captions, and will send the captions to the tv through the component/DVI/HDMI port. The DVD player is doing it, not the tv. Likewise, your cable box should have a similar setup selection (I know my Dish receiver does, for example).

So, use the setup menus of your sources to enable captioning.
