Magnavox 513H Closed Caption Display Lost At 1.3x Playback ?

Hi,


The 1.3X playback speed option was an unexpected gift when I got the Magnavox MDR513H to replace one of my Panasonic DVD-Rs last week.


Can anyone display closed captions at the 1.3x playback speed (other than using the option to permanently "burn" the captions onto the video)?

Neither setting the 513H to display CC nor my TV to display CC works for 1.3x or 0.8x playback.


Just curious if maybe the CC information is somehow lost with the speed change. I've tried with OTA DTV and line input (composite) from a cable box (all channels are encrypted digital and output as analog SD from the box).


Interestingly I can get my TV to show captions from a series 2 TiVo on its slowest fast-forward speed (without sound of course, and it can get a bit garbled if the there is a lot of dialog in minimal time).


Thanks (and sorry to poke the CC "ball of poisonous snakes" as the Magnavox sticky thread puts it).

See, when you poke that ball of snakes, one of them is bound to bite you!


Not sure if you're trying to see analog CC or DTV CC during Rapid Play... it makes a big diff.

Display of analog CC is controlled solely by your TV, so if you record an analog program that you know has CC in it, they'll play back fine unless you use Rapid Play, during which they'll disappear. Most likely caused by the VBI CC lines not being readable at different playback speeds.


DTV CC will display during Rapid Play if you recorded that program with DTV CC Service 1 and Recording ON because the CC are burned in.


DTV CC will also display during Rapid Play of the AR buffer if you had Service 1 ON during the buffer recording time. Don't need Recording on for this.


Each program and commercial has its own integral CC stream, so each one can take up to 30 sec to start displaying... you have to take that into account when looking for CC to display or not.


This was a good question so I added the info to the CC help file.


Please ask future questions in the main Sticky thread.
