There is a decoder required which will go between your VCR and
your television.  This will allow you to see the captions on your
videos as well as the captions on many television shows as well.

If I'm not mistaken, you can purchase the decoder from Sears or
Penny's which sells them at cost.  Price is around 180 dollars.
