most software players. It seems most DVD players (standalone) support line
21. The only problem is very few DVDs actually have line 21 data.
HD DVD formats don’t support it. My feeling is unless you are going
to be showing VHS or TV signals through the project its not worth the extra
money or weight to support closed captions. That’s my feelings

overhead projector that has everything wired through it, the presentation
projectors for use with computers are rarely used to show VHS tapes. Generally
when showing VHS tapes, a TV and a VHS player are brought in. The TV has the
decoder built-in, so you would not need a projector with a decoder.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

closed captioning capability. It is called the PowerLite 83c. I am
trying to wrap my brain around how this works on a practical level. Has
anyone used one? It is heavier than the one I was looking at from
