On HDMI settings,how to use cc - Panasonic VIERA TC-P55ST50 55 in. 3D Plasma HDTV

Do you have the captions set for Analog or Digital captions? The advanced setting is only available for digital captions. See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/520286/Hitachi-Alpha-L40a105.html?page=19#manual .

I hope this helps.

What's the HDMI source? You need to disable the CC on the cable box or DVD player. These are only two of the possible HDMI sources that will provide the captions directly.

Without knowing the source, I can't tell you how to disable the captions. For many devices, you'll need to enter the settings. (Some cable/IPTV boxes will need a passcode to enter the settings menu.) On my IPTV box, the CC option is tucked into the Hardware Settings under Audio. On some satellite TV boxes, I found that the closed captioning had to be turned on at the primary box and that would enable secondary boxes to also show the captions. (It was an annoying feature for a family with one hard-of-hearing guest. They didn't need closed captions on the primary box. The specifics of their set-up and service meant that the secondary box couldn't display captions directly.)

Please add a comment with the HDMI source for specific information on turning off the captions that you currently see on that source device.

It all depends on the DISH system and the TV. For the most part the CC signal is carried on the cable from the box to the TV. Not sure how you have the DISH connected to the TV, but lets assume its HDMI. Connected this way you should be able to go into the TV settings (use the remote that came with the TV, NOT the dish remote) and go into the settings or menu. From there look for audio. In the audio menu is a section for CC. You should be able to turn it on from there. Or just check on the LG remote. They sometimes have a CC button that you simply push to turn it on. Hope this helps

Are you using the cable box settings (or remote) or your TV's remote to select the closed captions. When you use the HDMI cable, you need to enable the captioning on the set top box. The TV can only interpret the CC if the signal goes through the tuner (coaxial cable input). It's a matter of how they built the hardware; the cc interpreter is part of the tuner.

Which cable provider do you have? I know with some providers, there isn't a direct CC button on the remote. With them you need to go through the Settings menu to enable the closed captions. If you add a comment with your provider, I may be able to help you enable the CC if there isn't a CC button on the cable remote.

I hope this helps.

Some mfg's do not offer CC in HDMI mode. Does CC work in CBL mode?

Try this combination.

1) Start with the cable box turned on and TV on tuned to the cable box.

2) Press the POWER button for the cable box and then quickly press the MENU button.

3) This should bring up the user setting menu. Use the arrow keys on remote to go to Closed Caption and press right arrow button this should bring up the closed caption menu.

4) Press the OK button and this should either turn CC on or off.

5) Once Closed Caption is turned off press LEFT ARROW button to return to User Settings Menu.

6) Press the POWER button to turn the Cable box back on and the Closed Caption should be gone....


Good Luck.....

It has got to be the box. I would try to contact Scientific Atlanta if any way possible. The TV doesn't choose what inputs it shows CC.In other words, it would show it on all Inputs if it was the TV. Good luck and Thanks

Open the menu, then go to setup, there should be a closed caption options in there, also remember that CC can only be passed via a transmitted cable signal. If you have a Cable box or Satellite box connected via HDMI, or its pushing a HD signal (720p, 480p) the CC box is from the Sat or Cable box, test the settings on the box.

The TV will not display closed caption with HDMI input. It must either over-the-air (antenna) or composite input for the TV to manage CC.

To get CC with HDMI from your Comcast DVR, you need to configure the cable box. Instructions can be found here:

If you want CC all of the time, this works well. But since you must power-off the cable box to change the setting, switching CC on and off is a real pain.

Your set-up is similar to mine (Sharp Aquos 46" and Comcast DVR). I have the composite output from the cable box going to a DVD-recorder and on to the TV. Whenever I need CC (usually to catch some mumbled dialog), I just rewind the DVR, and switch the TV input to the composite input. Then I switch back to HDMI to continue watching in HD.
