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 guess when I do connect the BR player to the TV with the hdmi cable, captions on my old DVDs will not work.
I have been using Component cables so far, but captions do not work over them either if I have my TV component input set at 1080 resolution. However, if i set the component input on my TV to standard 480 resolution, captions work fine.
Nice... what a waste of money all this was.
note: I may have posted at alldeaf before, but I'm not sure... sorry if I double posted.
edit: yes, I just searched and I found an old thread with mostly the same comments.
