Closed Caption help!! Does this mean if I connect the cable box by HDMI or Component cables that the closed captions won't work?

I learned the hard way that CC does not work on an HDMI connection. There is a faster way to change closed captioning on a COMCAST DCT64--: 1) TV and cable box are on. 2) Using COMCAST remote, press these buttons in order: 3) CABLE ... POWER ... MENU 4) Use arrows to select and/or change CLOSED CAPTION 5) When CLOSED CAPTION IS ENABLED, the CC options may be changed. 6) Press MENU to save changes 7) Press POWER to turn the cable box back on

You can turn off the cable box using the power button on the box itself, then push the menu button (still using box, not remote) . That will bring up a menu that lets you enable captions, for this part it is OK to use the remote or the box curser keys.

yes - but the closed captions comes from the service provider, not necessarily the TV. Depending what i watch i can get up to 3 languages on netflix and normally only english on FIOS ( my provider ). If you go down the DLNA route and go with Serviio , TVMobili or plex ( Serviio is my preference ) the mkv containers can support as many subtitles as you want to encode ). all in all very good.

Hi, this Sony Blu-ray player doesn't support Netflix or Amazon Prime closed captioning. You may try to check on these models instead: BDPS6200. This one supports closed caption on internet videos. -Ely

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.

Most DVDs have closed captions and work with TVGuardian; however, not all do; very few Blu-ray movies do. TVGuardian needs the CC to detect the foul language. Hollywood has changed things on us. Up until about two years ago (2011), virtually all dvd movies did work with TVGuardian (except Universal Studio). Now, around half of the new releases do not contain the closed-captions TVGuardian needs. You can tell by looking for the CC logo on the back of the box. If it has the SDH (subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired) logo it will not work with TVG. TVGuardian works very well on TV since closed captions are required by law on TV. Therefore, TVGuardian technology will always be applicable for TV. On the other hand, closed captions are not required by law on DVDs. For TVG technology to work on DVDs and Blu-ray movies that use SDH, the technology has to be built into the DVD/Blu-ray player. Thus far, the manufacturers have not wanted to add the TVG feature.

Yes this TV features closed captioning. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Have not had that issue. I have an issue with a 3D TV where the HDMI handshake on the TV end is problematic. It's mainly an annoyance as I can either delay turning on the cable box until the TV is fully up or just turn the cable box off and back on. Other than that it works fine. I would suggest trying another HDMI input device if you can for a test to eliminate any issues with your current device and try a different cable for the input. If you have more than one output device connected start with just a single output device until you have it working solidly. Also make sure that the power adapter if firmly plugged in. If the power LED also comes and goes then it might be power related. If you have another power adapter with the same plug size and polarity you might try that just to eliminate any power issues. The vendor was very responsive (as was Amazon's tech support) with troubleshooting my HDMI handshake issue so try them too.

Christine, I would check the following: 1. Connection - make sure the hdmi cable is secure. Also if you have an old/cheap hdmi, I've been told investing in a new/higher quality can benefit, however I haven't tested. 2. Make sure you are set up for hd from your cable provider. If not you might be able to tune the channel, but if your box isn't hd you won't see the inproved picture. 3. Make sure you select the hdmi option the the tv selector (if you have the older red/white/yellow av cables plugged and are using those by mistake, they won't give you hd). 4. If you're streaming (watching amazon, vudu, YouTube, hbo go, etc) despite these sites offering hd, it is dependent upon the speed of your internet connection and you may not be receiving hd. If you've accouted for everything listed, I would call your cable provider. There may be an equipment issue (their box). Actually when I set mine up I had to so this as I was receiving a picture issue, but after a reset it has worked fine since. Hope you this helps and you resolve the issue.

One doesn't certify with the FCC. But,you have to register your CapTel 840I with Captel/Ultratec in order to enable the closed captioning. I believe there are visual prompts on the telephone to help one do that.

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

Auto switching feature will not work, powered or not, AT ALL for some HDTV cable boxes. You will have to use the remote.This is due to the cable box always being ready to record, tricking the device into thinking it's always on even when powered off.I have a xfinity Cisco/ rng150n

The only thing mine is connected to is the cable box...sorry, I don't have a clue.

Dear Mary O.. One more thing I forgot to mention, if your cable box is connected via an HDMI cable make sure you pick HDMI for an input, not CABLE as these are two different connectors..

As close as I can discern, the unit has subtitle selection, (If the DVD you are playing has subtitles, you can activate) but I don't see anything in the manual that indicates 'closed captioning' is available. While I was searching for the online manual, (I gave this as a gift) I did notice that one of the Sony products may offer it. Sorry I could not be of more help.

It could be the loss of the EDID due to a timing issue between the TV and the cable box. There is an inexpensive box that may solve your problem. google for "Got HDCP Connection Problems?"

Depends on the service. Netflix offers closed captioning and I believe Amazon and Hulu offer it on some of its videos.
