Hi,

If you just want to turn the closed captions on or off, there is a key marked "CC" on the Sony remote supplied with the TV. This is located between the "FREEZE" and "SLEEP" keys. Each time you press the "CC" key, the closed captions will cycle between ON and OFF.

The closed caption settings are located in the XMB (XrossMediaBar). To open the XMB and access the closed caption settings, please follow these instructions:

1. Switch the TV on
2. Press the "HOME" key on your Sony remote to open the XMB
3. The SETTINGS option (the toolbox) should be automatically selected. If not, use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys to highlight this option.
4. Press the DOWN arrow repeatedly until CLOSED CAPTION (CC in a box) is highlighted.
5. Press the "+" key (in the centre of the arrows) to open the CLOSED CAPTION menu

You should now be able to see the CC options. Continue using the arrow keys and the "+" key to change the options to your required settings.

If these options are greyed out / not available, it's probably because you are using a cable/satellite receiver. In this case, you will need to change the CC options from the on-screen menus for your cable/satellite receiver.

I can't give you any specific instructions for this as I don't know which brand/model of cable/satellite receiver you are using however, the process will be very similar. Look for a MENU button on your cable/satellite remote control and then use the arrow keys and the OK/SELECT key on the remote to navigate the menus and select options. Please note: on some cable boxes, you can only open the on-screen menus when the box is in 'standby' mode.

Hope this helps. If you need any further information on CC settings or assistance with setting the CC options on your cable box, please reply to me from within this page.

Regards,
BElectric

    Sounds simple enough but I haven't go a closed captions (cc) icon when I go into the settings menu or a freeze and sleep button on my remote.

    Interesting . . . are you certain that you listed your problem under the correct Sony model number - KDL40XBR? If you have a different model number, these instructions don't necessarily apply to you.

Can't get closed captions to turn off.
What's the TV source? For most TVs, caption feature only works with signals on the antenna (RG-59/RG-6). That is over-the-air or cable without a set-top box.

For all other sources, you need to enable/disable the captions at the box (or a primary box, for some setups).

Some remotes will have a caption button. Otherwise, you'll have to search in the menus. On my IPTV set-top box, to access the closed captions control, I have to press Menu. After choosing the setup menu, I need to enter a code (from my service provider), then enter the Audio menu. Inside that sub-menu, I can access the Captions section. Years ago, I helped a neighbor with enabling closed captions on a secondary TV that was served by a satellite box in another room. The set-top box at the primary TV needed to be set that signal to Single Mode (show the same program on both TVs). This was done by pressing physical buttons on the box. Then enter menu system on that set-top box. Navigate to and select properties. The closed captions menu was inside this sub-menu. When the captions were enabled at the primary box in dual mode, the captions only displayed on the primary set.

I hope this helps.

Text of the voice sound from my LG smart TV is on all the tme. n
Do you mean that the closed captions are on? Disabling this depends on the video source. If the source is TV (OTA or cable with a coaxial cable), then you need to access the Settings icon after pressing the Home button on the remote. Then go to the Accessibility section. Locate the Closed Caption sub-menu and disable the captions. (Click the appropriate button on the remote to enter menus and change settings.)

If the source is not connected to the RF input, then you probably need to disable the captions at the source. This will depend on the source. For some satellite boxes with a main set-top box that serves a secondary TV, you'll need to disable the captions at the main set-top box. For an ADB IPTV box, press Menu on the remote. Then go to Settings with the arrow keys and press Enter. You may need a pass code from the service provider. Go to the Hardware sub-menu and enter the Audio section. Finally the captions can be disabled in this section. Check the documentation for your source.

If you mean the Voice Narration (audio description), you need to go to the Audio settings section from the Home screen or the Accessibility section (as above) depending on the TV model.

I hope this helps.

How to get words of dialogue off this TV
To get words of dialogue off a TV, you have a few options:
  1. Check the TV settings: Some televisions have built-in closed captioning options that allow you to display the dialogue as text on the screen. Look for the "CC" or "Caption" button on your TV remote control. Pressing this button should cycle through different captioning options, including turning it off, enabling standard captions, or enabling captions specifically for dialogue.
  2. Use the TV menu: Access your TV's menu settings by pressing the "Menu" button on your remote control. Navigate to the "Settings" or "Preferences" section and look for the "Caption" or "Subtitles" settings. You may find options to enable or disable captions, adjust caption styles, or choose captioning presets. Explore these settings to see if there's an option to display dialogue as text.
  3. External Closed Captioning Device: If your TV doesn't have built-in closed captioning features or if you prefer more advanced captioning options, you can consider using an external closed captioning device. These devices connect to your TV and provide enhanced closed captioning functionality, including the ability to customize the display of dialogue. Search online or consult with an electronics retailer for external closed captioning devices compatible with your TV.
  4. Streaming Services: If you're watching content from a streaming service, such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, they often have their own closed captioning options. Look for the closed captioning settings within the streaming service's interface. You can usually enable or disable captions, and in some cases, customize the captioning style or size.
Remember that the availability and functionality of closed captioning options may vary depending on your TV model, so consult your TV's user manual or contact the manufacturer's support if you need further assistance.

Can't turn closed caption off on our Samsung Series 7000 LED TV
Make sure it isn't your cable or satellite TV service making the captions, as closed captions on your TV are separate from the ones produced by your service provider. If it isn't your cable/ satellite, open the TV menu and find the Audio/Visual properties section of the menu (audio and visual might be separate sections), and find the closed captions or CC options menu. When you do just change the setting from whatever it is on, to off. If your TV remote is fancier than mine (which it probably is), their could possibly be a closed caption button on the remote for easy access. In this case just push the button and change what you need to.

I can't turn the closed captioning OFF on my insgnia flat screen tv model NS-L CD37. i have a universal rca remote & the closed captioning won't go away - HELP !
The problem is that the universal remote is not sending the correct IR signal to your units IR receiver, regaurdless whether or not you turned the captions on with the universal, it is unable to send the signal to turn them off, if you have a menu button on your unit you could try accessing the closed caption option that way, alternatively you can do a system reset, if you can access that menu option, you may need to do a tv retune to get your stations, but the closed captioning should be off. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Need to know how to put the tv on close caption
Captioned programs are marked in TV listings by "CC". so press the cc button on the remote and the closed caption option will be applied.press that cc button again to turn off the closed caption option.
1) Check the size and manufactured year of your television. If it was made after 1993 and is larger than 13 inches, it has a closed captioning system built into it. Otherwise, you may need to purchase a separate closed caption system, which are available at a number of online outlets.
  1. 2)Turn on your TV and access the menu for closed captioning. The precise location of the menu varies by television set. Most are accessible by pressing the "Audio" or "Set Up" menu on your remote, then scrolling down to the "CC" or "Closed Captioning" option. Check your owner's manual for precise instructions.
  2. 3)Turn the closed captioning option to the "On" position. It will then run closed captions for every program that broadcasts them. Newer sets may allow you to adjust the size, font and colors of the closed captioning letters to fit your individual tastes.
  3. 4)Tune to a particular program for a few minutes to make sure the closed captions are working. Note that while many broadcasts run closed captioning, not all of them do. If the captions don't appear, check your TV listing to ensure the program includes them.
  4. 5)If you're watching a DVd on your TV, access the DVD's "Set Up" menu. It should have captioned options, which allow you to show captions in English and possibly other languages as well.
  5. thanks.
