Can the CC be turned off/on without the remote?

Unfortunately, you can't reach the CC (Caption Vision) sub menu without a remote control. You need to find another RM-Y121 remote or a Universal remote that supports the Menu feature of the original remote. (Some universal remotes do not include a Menu button. Avoid those cheaper models. You may have to search all Sony TV codes to get the needed button to work.)

A replacement original remote is available from EMT Company at http://www.emtcompany.com/sony-rm-y121-remote-control/101317789.html . The remote costs ~$12. Amazon has a vendor with a used version of the remote.

I wish that I had better news for you.

No. It hasn't. Electro help

You can't turn CC option OFF, without its remote control.

Yes, you can. Find your way into the setup menu to "cc" /closed caption and turn them off.

If your set has a "Menu" button on its front panel, you can press it, surf thorugh, come towards closed caption option window, set the CC to OFF, if it is set ON now. If there is no Menu button on its front panel, you must ahve its remote control to turn this function OFF.

Used the tv front bazel frame manual control buttons,get into the tv menu look for Colse Captioning funnctions turn off all cc to off.Very difficult to turn Close Captioning off,without a remote.Try website like Rmotes.com to buy an original remote.

Without knowing any more about what TV you have, I can give some quick general tips. Somewhere in the menu on your tv there is a option for using CC and you can turn it off and on in the menu section. Look at your remote real good and see if it has a CC button on it, most remotes have this built into them to make it easier for the operator to turn his feature on and off.

Noway to turn off captioning right away without the original remote.But U can unplug the tv for an hour,tv well reset itself back to original setting.The Captioning will shut off buy itself.Because captioning reqiure CC buttion on orignal remote and must manually turn on and off.

well if it has a menu option go into menu then set up and change cc okay if does not have menu button try to find universal remote w/ menu option and try to change okay

Hit The PIP Button On The Remote Until It Says CC OFF
