Closed Captioning with HDMI and DVD player: Does anybody know how to enable the CC while using the tv and dvd player?

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.

Just go into your "Menu" then setup...select "closed caption" and it should fix you right up!

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 know this is a really old post, but this might help someone else...Just started converting old videos to dvd and had a problem with this. Figured it out though...when in dvd mode press the input select button at the top of the remote. It will go to L2 and now you can follow the directions from the manual. - Press VCR, play until you get to the point you want to record and hit pause- Press DVD- Press Dubbing

Do you mean "CC" which means Closed Caption. I do not see CEC on my 37" Vizio.

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

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.

The only way the TV can turn on it's own subtitles is through the broadcasting menu, therefore using the broadcasting method (over the air) If you are using a cable box or satellite system you have to use the boxes that came with your cable or satellite system to get closed captioning. This question threw a curve ball at me but I finally did some research on the web tested it and I will confirm my information is 100% accurate

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 ... MENU4) Use arrows to select and/or change CLOSED CAPTION5) When CLOSED CAPTION IS ENABLED, the CC options may be changed.6) Press MENU to save changes7) Press POWER to turn the cable box back on

Roku 3 has the ability to display closed captioning, and has custom subtitle display options. It ultimately depends on the media you are playing, such as netflix, or hulu, or your own personal videos via plex. If the source you're playing has subtitles then the roku should be able to display them.

You're welcome. I ended up adjusting the screen size through my HDTV, I have a Samsung that has a 'fill screen option' and it seems to work better because it doesn't cut the edges off. I love the quality of the picture of my dvds. so much better than the regular dvd player I had. Maybe some day I'll switch to Blu-ray, but for now this works just great!

I play DVD's all the time on my TV and have never had an issue with the stock settings. Are you using appropriate HDMI cables for the connection to the TV? Sounds like you have a cable issue, not a TV issue.

If you go to the menu (on the remote), one of the sections in the left column will show a "closed captions" section in the right column. You can adjust the closed caption settings there. (Sorry I can't give more specifics because I just got my TV today and after updating the firmware the TV is now completely dead. But that's my understanding from having messed with the settings before that happened.)

Jennifer D.: In case you still have this problem, below are the steps of a workaround that worked for me, and hopefully will work for you too. It appears that the key step is to temporarily configure the DVR to output only a standard-definition TV signal. I found this after trying to debug a similar very frustrating problem with my Toshiba DR430 DVD recorder and Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR. 1. Disconnect the HDMI cable from the DVR to the TV. (Note that the only way my Scientific Atlanta DVR would enter the standard-definition setup wizard in step 2 below was with this cable disconnected. Originally, I did not disconnect this cable, and I suspect that as long as the DVR thought it was outputting a picture to an HDTV that it would override other configuration settings that I made.) 2. Configure the DVR to output only a standard-definition TV signal. (As per the user manual for my Scientific Atlanta DVR, start this process by simultaneously pressing the "INFO" and "GUIDE" buttons on the DVR while it is turned off. This was pretty easy to change and then undo later.) 3. In the DVR "Settings," set the "Picture Size" option to "Auto Fit." (It is also possible to quickly set this by repeatedly pressing the "#" key on the remote control.) 4. At this point, the aspect ratio in the DVD recorder was FINALLY correct and there were no bordering black bars. Hurray! Record shows onto DVDs as desired. 5. When I play a recorded DVD on the Toshiba unit the aspect ratio is correct and there are no bordering black bars. However, when I play a DVD on my Panasonic Blu-ray player, I have to set the aspect ratio on my Panasonic TC-P50VT20 Plasma HDTV to "JUST" to horizontally stretch the picture, but this is a very simple adjustment that is easy to change. Hopefully you can perform similar steps to workaround this annoying problem. Ron

I see what you saw in the manual so I tried in a HD station with my cable box over HDMI and I could not select caption from the menu. I think the reason for this is because the cable box has its own closed captioning. I went into the settings for the box and was able to use closed captioning that way.

Yes it does. Press the menu button, on your JVC control. Choose tv setting, then choose setup, the choose CC mode. Set your preference from there. Menu button > tv setting > setup > cc mode
