yes - but the closed captions comes from the service provider, not necessarily the TV. Depending what i watch i can get up to 3 languages on netflix and normally only english on FIOS ( my provider ). If you go down the DLNA route and go with Serviio , TVMobili or plex ( Serviio is my preference ) the mkv containers can support as many subtitles as you want to encode ). all in all very good.

As I remember, there is a toll free number in your CapTel instruction book that you call to activate. I can't recall if it is a person or a machine, but you have to give them your phone number. I think the FCC does this in case of illegal actitivity using the closed caption service. I mean, who wants to get involved if a deaf burgler uses their phone to discuss their next caper, and the poor closed caption server has to type stuff like this. LOL!! Hope this helps.

I think the captioning is by live operators...they may also use software but when you turn the CC on, there is a slight delay while a live operator logs on.The captioning is pretty good, some drops, but I rank it better than the CaptionCall and just a little behind our Captel. We use it as our main phone and the CaptionCall is downstairs. The Captel is *retired*.

As long as the original program has close caption you shouldn't be concerned. I tested the feature on a recorded program and the spoken text did show on the screen after turning this feature on by pressing the "CC/CS" button on the remote to the appropriate setting. The text can take up quite a bit of room on the screen (if a lot is being said) but it's there.

Yes it does. Using the remote control go to Picture,under Caption using the Direction Arrow Keys go from Off to On. All Black Background with White Lettering. You'll then see the Closed-Captioned on the tv stations that use it,some do and some don't.

Captioning is displayed on streamed material if captions are available on the received media.

deshkaman,Closed Captioning is available on the tuner and Apps when enabled by the TV. If you're using a cable/satellite box or Blu-Ray player connected with HDMI, you may want to enable the closed caption options on the cable/sat box or Blu-ray player instead. The closed caption or subtitle option needs to be enabled at the source level for those items rather than the TV level. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

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.

Rufus, Just bought this and love it, but, yes, the text generated from using CC onscreen button is very small. May be a way to get captions from the program source (such as streamed PBS or DVDs) or to increase size of the "default" CC text. Will get back to you if I find a way.Ok I'm back and and the text size isn't as small as I thought. It seems to measure 3/8", which works fine for me at 7 feet away. I think 3/8" is the suggested minimum size for viewing up to about 10 feet away for captioning. There is some variation in fonts, but it mostly seems to be uppercase sans serif something like Tahoma, if that means anything to you. You can also turn on subtitles to DVDs. Hope this helps.

Why can't I get "closed caption" on my Vizio tv when watching streaming movies from Amazon?

I'm no expert on this, but I think 'closed caption' is part of the resident menu on the television. If you go to set-up with the TV remote you should find out how to get the closed captions. If that doesn't work, got to ask.com and ask the same question, you'll generally get a lot of step by step answers through youTube.

Yes it is located in the menu. Just click yes and it will display the close caption on the station that have that option.

Yes. Has additional options for captioning such as digital, background and foreground colors and opacity, and also some other function I'm not familiar with.

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.

I am not sure. I have Phonax hearing aids . Com pilot is great. T.V with no closed caption is a new experience. I have profound loss and it works for me. Using my phone for the first time in years. Hope it works out for you. !!!

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.
