My sony dvd rmt-d178a will not stop showing the closed captioned 'subtitles' during movies...please help! We would like to turn them off, but how?

Closed captions are deleted from the MENU on your Sony TV.

Subtitle setting is in the dvd setting not the tv, If the DVD would have CC it would be on the case, CC is encoded in to the tv signal

Do you but the DVD or Burn ?

sincerely.

DVD movie playing have words on the screen is call subtitle.Goto DVD main menu.Turn off dvd movie subtitle,now dvd disc playing,will have no more words on the screen.

Movies said have CC close captioning sometimes just an add on print.Must go to the movies main Menu.To see if it have a Title on the main menu said SUBTITLES English,Spanish or French.Press that SUBTITLES to get close captioning printing words on the screen.But if u push the underline word said SUBTITLES,nothing is showing up on the screen,than the DVD movie disc have a problems or the add on print said CC is a lies.That the world for u,nothing are 100%.

Closed captions only show when you're watching TV. If you're watching a DVD they're called subtitles. Both are controlled by a button on the remote. Closed captions are controlled by a button that's labeled "cc" or "ccd". Subtitles are controlled by a button that is labeled "subtitles" or "sub". Subtitles can also be turned off by going into the DVD setup menu.

Are you sure they are subtitles rather than closed captioning (if it is TV rather than DVD, it is closed captioning)?

If it is closed caption, pressing subtitle won't turn them off. If there is a button that says "Closed Caption" or "CC" press it. If not, press menu and look for the CC option (it should be under video or audio depending on the TV). Turn it off.

If you are watching a foreign language movie on TV (not DVD) it is likely hardsubbed (you can't turn the subs off because they are burned into the video).

go to the menu of the movie and turn them off from there

If you have two sets of subtitles when the DVD subtitles are turned on, turn off the closed captioning on the TV menu and on the DVD player and this should solve your problem

Your TV will need to have (CC) capability. To view Closed Captioning (CC) information from a DVD using the CC function of the television, turn off the Progressive Scan function of the DVD player. If the DVD player doesn't have progressive scan then follow the instructions from your TV manual to setup closed captioning.
