Look in the set menu under closed captions, there will likely be a setting there for "TEXT" IF FOUND SWITCH IT TO OFF.

This is a feature a lot of sets had for books etc viewed but was never really used---the result a black box on the screen.

go to your menue check the closed caption sometimes this causes this turn it off

I have heard complaints from some of my customers, “There is a black/gray box on my television, but I can still see the picture around the edges”. This happens to all of us and is a common symptom and can be fixed very easily. If you have a black/grey box in the picture, on the older sets they would be perfectly centered on the screen, but, on some of the newer sets the black/grey box can be in different places and can be different sizes on different sets.
Most likely the Text mode is on in the Closed Caption menu.
The way you can test if it is in Closed Caption Text mode, when you change the channels, the black/ gray box will not appear right away but it will take some time to show back up. This is a very good indication that the Closed Caption “Text” mode is turned on for your television. It just needs to be turned off.
To turn off the closed caption go into your menu and turn off closed caption (CC). This will vary from manufacture to manufacture; it should be in the options menu.
I have seen on some sets like Mitsubishi puts it under the Video adjustments button. So you may have to look around for it.
You may even have a CC button on your remote, which will make it much easier. Just press the CC button until the display indicates that CC it is off.
I hope that this tip helps you and that you enjoy your televisions for years to come.

You may have your TV in the closed caption "text". Go to the menu and turn off closed caption if it is on.

This sounds like the text function is turned on in the closed captioning part of the menu. If the remote has a separate captioning button press that until captioning and text are off. Otherwise the caption/text settings are in the customer menu. Go into the menu to the captioning options & shut captioning/text off and see if this corrects your problem.

Check your closed-caption settings and make sure you have captioning turned off. You probably have it set for "text" mode now, and this causes the black box on some channels and programs. The TV is clearing the area where the text would be displayed, but there's no text. Most TV remotes have a single button to access caption settings, and it's easy to change the settings without knowing it. Then you're stuck with the mysterious black box.

how can i get rid of the closed caption on my magnavox tv without the original remote

You have the closed captioning in the TEXT mode. Turn the closed captioning off and it will go away.

If you mean that you get a black box, with a little of the picture visible around the edges, then your closed captions are on and set to TEXT. This puts a black box on the screen about 10 seconds after changing the channel. Go into the menu and turn off the closed captions and the picture will be back to normal.
