    The closed captioning on my tv comes on by itself. I turn it off with the remote but eventually it comes on again. Is there a way to turn CC off permanently? Thanks

    I have the same problem - tv on - cc on - I hit the cc button until it says off - but when I turn off the tv and then back on - it's back again! I hope someone comes up with an answer.

    I have had the same problem with my Philips TV since it was 13 months old. 1 month out of warranty of course! I think Philips just has a problem with their manufacturing. As I shop for my new flat screen TVs for the house I will look at any brand other than Philips. Vote with your pocketbook so they get the message and get better quality in their sets.

Suggestion, buy a new TV :o)
I have the same issue, just bought a used tv, no remote, can't turn off C/C
contacted philips for suggestions, may try to purchase a universal remote - the one directv provides doesn't have a cc or pip button either.

Had the same problem with my Phillips TV. CC was always on when I turned on the tv, even though I turned it off when I used the tv last. I finnally fixed it. Step 1: Turn the TV back on, Step 2: Turn off CC, and turn off the TV, Step 3: Unplug the TV from the wall for 3 minutes, Step 4: Plug the TV back into a surge protected power strip. Thats it! That worked for me. After I did this and turned the TV back on the CC was off.. whooo..

How can I turn off CC on my SONY 52XBR. I used the Remote control settings and selected off on the cc display, but the cc never turns off. I also used the menu button on the side of the T.V to select
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

I have a panasonic TV. direct tv remote for a . while programming the timer, somehow closed captioning got turned on & i after hours of trying to get it turned off, NO LUCK. it's driving me insane!!...
I could do better with a picture of the remote. Closed captioning is usually a multi-press button, that is each press takes you through each of the four types of closed captioning and then off.
You can enable closed captioning on a DVD Recorder, it looks like the TV, but its only on the picture from the DVD Recorder.
If you have a PVR, you could have closed captioning on on that device.
Try tuning off everything else to make sure it IS the TV.
Turn on the menu and find the closed captioning settings and set to OFF.
Press the close captioning button on the remote (If there is one) and press CC repeatedly until it says OFF.
Try and control close captioning, timer and menus with the ORIGINAL remote and not a programmable one.
Programmable remotes are not always completely compatible.

Closed Captioning comes on every time i turn on the tv!
Apparently the 2002 Sharp model TV that I purchased has the closed captioning by default if the mute button is engaged. So there is no solution for my particular model, it has been built in this way. The only solution is not to use the mute button and lower the volume instead.

Black Box On Screen
Salutations Cranberries,

The annoying black box is usually a feature of the closed captioning called "Text" You should be able to go in to onscreen menu and select caption options. Unless you need to have the closed captioning on for medical reasons, it maybe best just to turn off all captioning options.

Hope this helps.

Closed caption activiting on everytime tv is turned on
If you have the Suddenlink remote and the DVR box you can turn captions on or off by accessing a technical menu. To do this, press POWER and Menu buttons together (menu 2 times) to bring up a special menu. Select Closed Captions. On the popup menu select closed captions and using Select button change to OFF or ON as you wish. The trick is to get the menu to come up. Timing of pressing the two buttons is frustrating and it may take a few times befotre you get the special menu.
