Why can't I get closed-captioning (NOT subtitles, there's a difference) to work on my TV's with the Icom/Ivid player?
222406
My last two DVD players worked perfectly with CC on my old flat screen TV and my new one. I have the Icom player hooked up to one TV and just received the Ivid player (same exact model, just different name) for the new TV. Neither of them will allow my TV's to display captioning. The fault lies with Icom/Ivid; whether it's a setting issue or not is beyond me. I tried playing with the settings on my TV's as well as the Blu-ray players (including analog component hookup and HDMI digital), with no luck. I have to get to the bottom of this. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Closed captioning isn't available on movies, only broadcasted TV. Subtitles are way more accurate than CC anyways.

If the channel provider has subtitles, then it's an option with the Roku 2. When I click on a title in Netflix I now have an extra option of "Audio/Subtitles" where I can turn them on & off.

You need to switch to an analog input to the TV for cc. HDMI does not transmit cc info (onlu subtitles). I have an HDMI connection I use for BD and most DVDs. I also have a regular analog (video and audio cable) connection to an additional TV input that I select I need to use closed captioning. Both can be connected at the same time and then just switch between inputs on the TV.

Roku XD Streaming Player 1080p So far Netflix has not supplied closed captioning in the regular video streaming and it is almost 2011. Someone needs to see whether the ADA finds this a worthy topic since the hard-of-hearing are hearing-disabled. Are there no legal teeth to use on Netflix and Roku? For the moment, they should both post disclaimers on their current sites that streaming content is currently done without closed captioning. The potential ecomonic loss ought to be apparent to both the people making the streaming Roku players and the content providers, such as Netflix and nudge them in the direction of providing closed captioning.

My understanding is that unless there is subtitling (or closed captioning, whichever term is correct) that it will not screen out cussing or suggestive language.

I assume your are using Windows 8....if that's the case go to cnetdownloads and get vlc player..........that will fix your problem

Close captioning print is much bigger than the channel print. There's also a menu item to customize the size, but allowing the standard broadcast captioning is plenty big to see from several feet away. I don't use the feature, but I checked it out and it looks like it would be fine for people who use it

I was able to by pushing the "source" button. You should be able to especially if you have a newer model tv. :)

you will need to try and install VLC media player, I had issues with this too and VLC media player worked. I don't remember where I found it, but this site might work. http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10267151.html

you cant...Samsung claims due to FCC new rules that because this TV does not have the chip to support YouTube CC (closed captions) it will not have this app. Samsung has elected to leave this out. Bad move and they have done this without informing customers or resellers. Not even their authorized sellers. The link is via the browser and it will not work very well. It will crash on HD video. Any HD video on the Samsung browser will crash it.

Yes it can. If the TV is set in "Video mode" and CC is turned on, it will display closed captioning. If you are using HDMI mode, the DVR has closed captioned settings that will display closed captioning independent of the TV's settings.

The Closed Captions does not work with Netflix on this TV. I have to hook my Wii, or another streaming device up, to get the Captions. Also, the HULU Streaming App stopping working. NOT good for a Streaming device. Best to buy one separately.

I had the same problem, the instructions stink! I thought that something would come up that would guide me as to what to do, duh! I am not great at electronic know-how, but I finally figured out that you need a program, like Windows Media, to work the thing, it has no program of its own. I opened up Windows Media Player and clicked on Sync. Then it showed the MP player and I figured it out from there.

ah... have multiple droid devices - ipad, etc - changing extension will not resolve this - it is a codec issue - installing vital player on my other droid devices resolved this issue

Like most HD televisions the tv does not decode the captions for HD cable programs etc. You need to use the cable remote to turn on the captions via the cable box, and they should work. Expect a lot of caption errors especially with the local stations since many do not carry the digital HD captions. I would also google the internet for captions and HD tvs/cable and you'll see that it is really a mess.

I own an, "Insignia," model Blu Ray player, that I stream Netflix on. And it has the SUBTITLE option in its' settings, and a SUBTITLE button on the remote. Yet when I try using it while watching Netflix, even on a show that I am told has Closed Caption, like, "Mad Men," all I get is that NO CAN DO, little red circle, with that diagonal line. So I just do not get it???!!!
