roku closed captioning - all other channels (Hulu, Netflix,etc) on roku can show closed captioning except Amazon. Is there something I am missing?

Well, I just got a Roku 2 box and a trial week of Amazon Prime, and I'm dumping it since there's no CC. Amazon is throwing away millions of old people that want to watch TV and movies with CC. Dumb move!

I don't think you're missing anything. The reason why I purchased Netflix is the CC feature. I wrote to Amazon about their lack of CC capabilities a year or so ago and all I received was a confirmation that CC was not available. This is unconscionable. There is a new law, however, that is going to require all electronic video devices to include CC by the year 2015. Hopefully, Amazon rectifies this glaring flaw before then.

Friend, could you tell me if it offers CAPTIONS when downloading like a Netflix movie?? My son can do this and I can't, and I'm very hard of hearing so cannot understand anything without the CAPTIONS!! (I also have an older Sony Blu-Ray)! (My tv does support it)

It works well with Amazon prime....in fact BETTER than my Roku box. Roku has "buffering" from time to time, never saw that with this. But it does not have the advertised Flixster support, so beware.

The only way the TV can turn on it's own subtitles is through the broadcasting menu, therefore using the broadcasting method (over the air) If you are using a cable box or satellite system you have to use the boxes that came with your cable or satellite system to get closed captioning. This question threw a curve ball at me but I finally did some research on the web tested it and I will confirm my information is 100% accurate

Do you mean "CC" which means Closed Caption. I do not see CEC on my 37" Vizio.

I do believe the movie has to have the closed caption in the data stream. If it is, then there should be an option for you somewhere in the 'player' or 'app' that you are playing it on, to turn it on. I do not believe the Kindle has this pre-installed, or at most, I have not found it, and all "web searches" state you have to have an app or player to do this, along with the .srt file (whole different subject which I won't even touch). Good luck with finding a solution.

based on what i am finding out via searches, HDMI cables do not carry the CC captioning in the video feed. note: subtitles on dvd's do not equal closed captionings, 2 different things this is why you can view subtitles on dvds through hdmi hookup. only work around i have found is to hook up with the old video feed, i.e. yellow rca jack to the tv, then use this video feed as input source on tv when you want cc's.

I dont believe so, I have never seen any options of choice for closed captioning.

I do not see "closed captions" in any of the menu sections. Did you get your TV working again? Do you have TCL 40inch LCD TV? Thanks anyway.

Yes, it has closed-captioning. And for these types of questions, just Google the manual for this model.

I'm sorry but I don't use amazon instant videos so I don't know. I cannot play Netflix or Hulu, either. Can you?

Sorry, I can't answer this question for sure. I didn't even know Netflix did closed captioning on steaming systems.

Just go into your "Menu" then setup...select "closed caption" and it should fix you right up!

You have an older version of Amazon that doesn't allow you to select subtitles. IMO this is an awful streamer and if you're able to do so return it for a RUKU player.

I actually found some help on this topic in the AVS forum. I had to access the menu from my comcast box while the box was turned off and i had to turn the caption on from that menu. Confusing I know. Anyway the captions work great now and my cable box is hooked up to my Samsung via HDMI. Slight problem with the captions lagging behind on some channels but other than that it's been fine.

I contacted Samsung who told me there was not an Amazon app available for that player, even though Amazon told me there was. I ended up disconnecting the player and bought Roku.
