Closed caption stays on even though the set up menu states the "caption vision" is off

go to onscreen menu and click off captions
on my tv set running through a cheap set top box , even though it is off it appears on some channels and all I do is change channels and come back to where I was and the captions are gone

Does your TV have a set-up or menu or on the controller, does it have a menu button? try configuring it throught the menu button of your controller...

If Closed Captioning is being displayed even though the CC option in the TV menu is set to Off , then it is being produced by another device, such as a cable or satellite set-top box. To remove the Closed Captioning from the TV screen, it must be disabled on the device that is decoding the Closed Captioned signal.
NOTE: Some set-top boxes may automatically display Closed Captioning on the TV screen when the set-top box sound is muted. If this is the case, turn off the Mute function of the set-top box

On newer Sony TVs you press the CC button to cycle through the available settings for Closed Captions (CC): On, Off, and On when
Muting.

However, it looks like your factory remote control lacks a CC button and your TV menu appears to have a simple Off/On option for what Sony calls Caption Vision. If that is the case then you would need to manually turn on Caption Vision when you mute the television. That hardly seems like the solution you're after.

If you had an aftermarket remote control that could record macros you might be able to program it so that when you press the mute button the TV would mute and also turn on Closed Captioning. This would require the proper remote control and some expertise.

try to go to menu then enter close caption CC option then turn it OFF

closed caption can also come from a cable or satellite box if you are using one--either it is from the set or the box----either can cause it.

Check the caption settings in the menu for your video source, (cable box or satelite reciever), the signal could be originating there.

Press the Display button on the remote several times until Caption Vision appears. See page 16 of this manual for info about Caption Vision: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/KV32S40.pdf
See page 20+ for info about Setup menu and Caption vision menu.

go in menu to closed captions--set is switched to TEXT--switch to off or CC1 if you want closed capton

Is it reading or working on some channels? If it is your set is working correctly as not every channel has closed caption available on them. Good Luck
