I have solid core multi-strand wire I can peel from a >ribbon cable, but I'm concerned that the metal will fatigue and break at >the bend points.   Check if the wire is a single insulated wire, two insulated wires twisted to gether, or shielded coaxial cable.   Ribbon cable is probably to large and stiff. Instead, I suggest disassembling an audio phono cable, mouse cable, or computer serial cable for suitable wire.   This might help: "Soldering Headphones And Enamel Wire" <https://hackaday.com/2016/11/22/iron-tips-soldering-headphones-and-enamel-wire/>   If you end up with something that is difficult to solder, try wrapping one strand of fine wire around the end of the wire and tin it with as little solder as possible. That should be both stronger and easier to handle.   -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

Thank you Jeff Layman and Jeff Liebermann,   The current wire is single strand insulated.   I'll scavenge something to find suitable wire, and the soldering advice is definitely useful.   Best Regards Mike

Back in the 1990's and 2000's, I used Usenet groups all the time. Most of the ones that are used are no longer active.

Kirk M <kmath50@gmail.com>: May 18 10:52AM -0700 I have a four-year old Panasonic Blu Ray player. It only has a single HDMI connector for connection to a TV.   There is a "CC" button on the remote. When a play a Blu Ray or DVD, for a recent movie, there is no closed captioning. It doesn't seem to matter how closed captioning is configured using the button on the remote.   Is there no closed captioning, even if it can be selected from the Blu Ray main menu?   As a hearing-impaired person, I really need to be able to use closed captioning. Are newer players better at providing this capability?   Regards,   KM
