By captions you mean subtitles - this constraint is a feature of your TV and not the projector, If however you mean the menu text for the projector then you sometimes have to select s-vid or composite as the menu text (and the volume level) doesn't appear when you are using Component.

LCD 101, your blue device is dying in the projector. Very common problem. The blue device cant handle the heat and allowing the other colors to come thru. I suggest replacing with a dlp brand product.

look in the projector menu ( should not be backwards) and switch the view to front projection. It might be set in rear projection. That is what my viewsonic PJ-558 projector can do sometimes

call sanyo tech department and they will help you increase the fan speed to cool the unit. This is done with the remote so it was pretty easy. Make sure your filters are very clean first (use compressed air or a co2 canister. Have not had a problem since, my units run on average 8 hours a night and have not shut down.
