RX-V2600 &deinterlacing : no closed captioning??

[matthijskeuper]

Hi,

I have a Yamaha RX-V2600 receiver connected to a EDTV (480p) using component video. The receiver upconverts the video signal from my Directv Tuner from 480i to 480p. However, in the process, I lose closed captioning. When the TV is connected to the receiver using s-video, the closed captioning is there. So either the receiver strips the CC or the TV doesn't display CC from the progressive scan input.

Is there anybody with a similar set-up (cable or satelite box with 480i -> receiver -> 480p -> tv via component video) that has CC? If so, it must be my tv...

Any other ideas are welcome as well, of course...

Thanks,
Matthijs

CC Info on TV

Here is one idea that should work. Run an extra S-video cable from the Yamaha's video output to the TV. When watching regular TV you can use this 480i input to retain the CC info. When watching movies, you can switch to the component input to take advantage of the 480p resolution.

Yeah, that's what I did. Wish there was a different solution, I just hate to switch the TV back and forth between different inputs, which was one of the reasons for getting the 2600. There's no direct button to select a specific AV input on the tv, so I have to zap from AV1 to AV 5 and back..
After some more browsing, I've found that progressive scan signals can't carry closed captions. So the options left are to hack the DirectTV box so the box overlays the captions instead of the TV, or get a separate CC decoder.

Thanks anyway!
