Can it display Closed captioning on a DVD of a Television series without subtitles?

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 US Government requires that all streaming applications be able to support Closed Captioning in 2014 TVs. The Amazon Streaming Video app for Vizio did NOT support Closed Captioning in the 2013 version, so the app has to be reworked by Amazon to support Closed Captioning. Amazon was late to the party with Closed Captioning on their service, but to their credit, they are able to support it now on most of their movie choices on Roku. Since Vizio sells a lot of TVs now, I would expect this to be ready before June 2014, but I have no knowledge of that. Please note, however, that this is an AMAZON issue... NOT a Vizio issue. Coming from a long-time Amazon Prime customer, who complained about no Closed Captioning for quite some time.

Under "General Setup Page" menu setting using the SETUP button to get the setup menu. "Closed captions...closed captions are data that are hidden in the video signal of some discs. Before you select this function, please ensure that the disc contains closed caption information and your TV set also has this function." Directly from enclosed user's manual.

Sorry, I can't answer this question for sure. I didn't even know Netflix did closed captioning on steaming systems.

Yes. However the subtitles are extremely tiny, rendering them almost unreadable.

I learned the hard way that CC does not work on an HDMI connection. There is a faster way to change closed captioning on a COMCAST DCT64--: 1) TV and cable box are on. 2) Using COMCAST remote, press these buttons in order: 3) CABLE ... POWER ... MENU 4) Use arrows to select and/or change CLOSED CAPTION 5) When CLOSED CAPTION IS ENABLED, the CC options may be changed. 6) Press MENU to save changes 7) Press POWER to turn the cable box back on

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???!!!

No the dvd would have that option not the remote. The DVD player itself is in Spanish but the remote is written in English.

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.

Depends on what you mean by "captions." If you mean old-style cc--white letters against a black rectangle, they will only play if you use composite input or component at 480i. Starting with 480p, that kind of cc is not supported by any player; HDMI doesn't support cc either. Switchable subtitles will play on anything.

My experience is that if the original program has captions, the captions can be turned on for playback. (I sometimes use the captioning.)Note that the DVR uses its own captioning system for display, not the one on the TB that is being used for playback.

I couldn't get this to work, maybe because I have an old TV, even though I have a digital cablebox (and ran it through that) so I don't know if closed captions would work. it gets recorded with a VCR, on tape. I bought several products that supposedly captured TV with a Windows 7 computer and none of them would work (pick up on the TV on the computer). If and when I get a new type TV I'll try it again. I'm not saying this product won't work, just that it didn't for me and my older model TV.

closed captioning is not available at this time.Foreign language movies have English subtitles. (No way to choose audio track or subtitle language). Most foreign content is in the original language (I haven't come across one yet that is a dubbed version).

You don't need to do this (and I'm not sure it would work). Closed captions are available under "settings" on the TIVO screen. The only problem getting captions comes when you are "streaming" a movie, e.g. from Netflix--so far, Netflix does not support closed captions for its streaming movies, although it is of course available on the DVD's. Netflix says this may be corrected sometime in 2010.
