Turn off closed caption on input(component) on Sharp Aquos 42"
We just bought the new aquos and hooked up the hdtv, but now in most of the HD channels closed captions show up and we don't know how to get rid of them. We tried pressing the cc button like the manual said, but it isn't the same in a different input. We want to take the subtiles off. How can we turn off the closed caption in input 1 (component)?
My problem is somewhat similar. We just purchased a Sharp Aquos 32" HDTV. I've connected the cable ( Comcast) to the tv with component cables. The close caption on the analog channels works fine, but on the HD channels I'm not able to turn CC off unless I power down the cable box (Motorola) and press menu, and then disable the CC. I'm thinking that a HDMI cable might fix the problem.
Can't turn subtitles off, tried to push the cc button did not turn off.
We are having the exact same problem! I think the cat sat on the remote or something and now we have subtitles that we can't turn off. I can't find any button on the remote that even hints at controlling subtitles. We've been putting up with this for a week now and it's getting extrememly annoying. Any help would be so appreciated!We are having the exact same problem! I think the cat sat on the remote or something and now we have subtitles that we can't turn off.

Re: turn off closed caption on input(component) on Sharp...
Had this happen on a Comcast box (Motorola DCT 6416 III)
Here's how to fix it:
Turn the cable box off, leave fully connected. Press Menu on the remote
The cable box internal menu will display (Not the Comcast one the Motorola one-- i.e. Display ratios-16:9 etc It's in black and white)
Use the arrows to cursor to the Closed Captioning and toggle to "Disabled" Press Manu again to exit and Voila!
Thank you! Certain NBC shows were showing spanish subtitles and I couldn't figure out how to get to the menu to turn it off. This method worked perfectly!Thank you!

I had the same problem. Turns out that the Comcast DVR has the option that overrides the sets settings.
I just got the DVR manual & read it, I saw where with the TV on/ DVR off, hit menu & you'll get the overide settings menu. Once CC is on, many different option of how they are displayed becomes active.

OK, it a Comcast problem. I talked to Panasonic regarding CC on hd channels only. I took the cable from the box and hooked it directly up to the TV. There is no CC on HD!!!!! Yeah!!! Therefore, it is a comcast problem. I have not been able to contact them yet, but at least we know where to go. THAT was very annoying.
Re: turn off closed caption on input(component) on Sharp...
The closed caption has nothing to do w/ your cable provider. It's enabled through equiptment, wether it be your equiptment or the cable companies. Simply accessing the set up menu and switching that option to off will solve your problem. In the Comcast boxes you must power them off then access the start up menu.

I had the same problem. Okay, First get the TV remote. not a cable box remote. Next, switch the input to an Analog input. (TV or input one if you have the RC red, white and yellow hook up. or, just hook up the coax cable straight to the TV.. Now, use the TV remote to operate the closed caption. It will work like it should.\ Briefly, closed caption works on the TV with a straight hook up to the TV. It will not work with a cable box.
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.
If you hooked up the satelite box to your tv Automaticly the Satelite box is the one who pick up the channels (from the satelite)
In this case your tv is acting as a monitor only. Try to connect your tv with HDMI cable or COMPONENT cable for best picture. Don't use RF antenna input to hook up your Satelite Box. Hope this Helps

I HAVE A SHARP SHARP LC19SB25U - 19" Class HDTV LCD TV. I can turn it on but I have no pictue and cannot use the remote that came with it. For some reason, when I press buttons on television or the remote, it won't respond. Can you help me.
I have a Sharp Aquos 46" and go a Comcast HD receiver as well, and had the same problem turning off the Closed Captioning. I order to turn it off you need to go into the box user setting by (starting w/ the cable box and tv on) pressing the power button for the cable box then the menu button for the cable box. This will open up the user settings menu. Just toggle CLOSED CAPTION to DISABLED.
If your using a HD converter box, there is usually a blink when switching from an HD channel to a non HD channel. It is just adjusting from different pictures modes such as changing from a 480i channel/show to a 1080i channel. If this is the case, its perfectly normal.
This is what just worked for me. If I can figure this out, anyone can :) We have comcast cable hddvr box, motorola 3416, and a new Samsung HD Plasma, but try this no matter what you have...
turn your cable box off, and THEN press menu on the box. A white screen popped up and this is where I had to scroll down to and disable the captions. I couldn't believe this worked since I thought the cables were enabled on my TV since my captions were covering my cable menus, but it was the cable. I hope this helps.
