really use the sound bar too much, as I would bother others w/ the sound bar, so I use the closed caption feature on the TVs extensively (I recommend this to you). Get used to the CC, and you won't really miss that much, and it's nice, I don't have the TVs, radios, etc. blaring anymore (which I have burned out the volume controls on 3 TVs thus far).
