Closed captioning on LG42LH40: Any help or suggestions?

They aren't common, gratefully, but some recent DVDs don't have CC. I was greatly disappointed to find that there is no CC on Dune (Sci-Fi Channel version,) for example.

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.

It actually works on any programming that transmits "closed captioning." I do believe HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc. offer "closed captioning so it would work while watching those shows.

Brian, If you haven't noticed yet, LG has fixed the problem with new software version 8.00.11. Thanks.

Yes, the captions can be turned off if the user is not hard of hearing. The captioning service is actually a free service provided by the FCC so there is no fee to pay for the phone though you will need high speed internet access. The phone does have caller id provided you have purchased caller id service from your telephone provider.

Not sure what you are asking. I have a cochlear implant and can listen to the TV and I find the captions fine for recorded programs but falling behind when it is real time or having many typos. Do you mean the captions are on the screen for too short a period of time? The CapTel phone uses a combination of voice recognition software and real time operator captioning - it is slower and the person speaking has to speak slowly, clearly and preferably into a hand set rather than through a headset which can pick up background noise. When I make a call on my CapTel phone I let people know I am deaf and using a captioned phone. And that for the software to keep up and be accurate they need to speak slowly and clearly.

I actually found some help on this topic in the AVS forum. I had to access the menu from my comcast box while the box was turned off and i had to turn the caption on from that menu. Confusing I know. Anyway the captions work great now and my cable box is hooked up to my Samsung via HDMI. Slight problem with the captions lagging behind on some channels but other than that it's been fine.

Most DVDs have closed captions and work with TVGuardian; however, not all do; very few Blu-ray movies do. TVGuardian needs the CC to detect the foul language. Hollywood has changed things on us. Up until about two years ago (2011), virtually all dvd movies did work with TVGuardian (except Universal Studio). Now, around half of the new releases do not contain the closed-captions TVGuardian needs. You can tell by looking for the CC logo on the back of the box. If it has the SDH (subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired) logo it will not work with TVG. TVGuardian works very well on TV since closed captions are required by law on TV. Therefore, TVGuardian technology will always be applicable for TV. On the other hand, closed captions are not required by law on DVDs. For TVG technology to work on DVDs and Blu-ray movies that use SDH, the technology has to be built into the DVD/Blu-ray player. Thus far, the manufacturers have not wanted to add the TVG feature.

Hi, this Sony Blu-ray player doesn't support Netflix or Amazon Prime closed captioning. You may try to check on these models instead: BDPS6200. This one supports closed caption on internet videos. -Ely

Not sure as I have not tried yet, but I sure do like the phone, not just for the captions but for the clear, crisp, loud sound as well.I suggest that you try using the answering machine. Most likely you will find some way to turn on the captions. Good luck with it.Don Victorson

This is easily disabled by going through the mamenu. If you need support in doing this, you may call LG at 1800-243-0000.

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

After contacting Panasonic and my cable company, I have determined there is no ordinary solution to this problem. Panasonic could fix it with an option for a screen saver during broadcast. I assume a private technician might be able to solve, but that could void any warranty.

based on what i am finding out via searches, HDMI cables do not carry the CC captioning in the video feed. note: subtitles on dvd's do not equal closed captionings, 2 different things this is why you can view subtitles on dvds through hdmi hookup. only work around i have found is to hook up with the old video feed, i.e. yellow rca jack to the tv, then use this video feed as input source on tv when you want cc's.

What you are seeing is actually a closed captioning stream that shows in Just Scan...most pictures will simply raise the viewable image about 1/8" and you will never see it. Just Scan does not...So the set is fine - it is your signal that is doing it.

The BDP-95 will not display captioning or subtitle on Netflix. I'm hoping a future firmware/software upgrade will change this.

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).
