I get a good picture and good sound on my TV - Kindle HD connection but can't get closed caption on my TV. Am I doing something wrong?

I have not tried to get closed caption so I don't really have an answer for you. Sorry

I do believe the movie has to have the closed caption in the data stream. If it is, then there should be an option for you somewhere in the 'player' or 'app' that you are playing it on, to turn it on. I do not believe the Kindle has this pre-installed, or at most, I have not found it, and all "web searches" state you have to have an app or player to do this, along with the .srt file (whole different subject which I won't even touch). Good luck with finding a solution.

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.

Friend, could you tell me if it offers CAPTIONS when downloading like a Netflix movie?? My son can do this and I can't, and I'm very hard of hearing so cannot understand anything without the CAPTIONS!! (I also have an older Sony Blu-Ray)! (My tv does support it)

Final Answer: Including CC on an HDMI cable has not been defined or agreed upon by the TV makers. CC is only well defined on 480i, the standard TV format. You can get closed caption from the COMCAST box, but you cannot turn it off and on without turning the cable box off and on. It is as simple as that, the CC information does not cross the HDMI above 480i, if then.

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.

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 was very disappointed in the few number of videos that had closed captions on Net Flix, and Amazon prime had none that worked with Roku 2I have cancelled my NetFlix and will not accept Amazon after my 30 day free trial. How can you find out about captions on Crackle and other free channels?

I am sorry that you are having such problems with subtitles. There is a beta firmware in the works at Western Digital and it is out for prerelease. Some really good updates are covered in this, including additional subtitle languages and decoding support. Maybe installing the most recent version, 1.02.07 (updated 04/22/2009) would help if you haven't already? http://www.wdc.com/wdtvprerelease/The only thing that I can think of if that doesn't work is download the subtitle separately from: http://www.opensubtitles.org/Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply on the closed caption problem. I tried it but still with no success. I turned off the box with the TV on and could not access the menu that way. I'm not sure how this could be possible with the cable box off. Do yo have the link for that topic in the AVS forum.Thanks again

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

My Kindle Fire streams the movies quite well. It is the signal that goes through the HDMI to AV composite. Yes, it works quite well. I watch movies from my Kindle Fire to the televison several times a week. My tv is an old analog tv so I needed the HDMI to AV composite to convert the signal. If you have a newer HD tv you just use an HDMI cable.

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.

Depends on the service. Netflix offers closed captioning and I believe Amazon and Hulu offer it on some of its videos.

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.

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???!!!

Go to settings, go to display and sounds, hit mirroring. Tv should recognize dongle, if your tv does not respond,check make sure everything is set up correctly. If this does not work contact the May day button have customer service help you, they may need to reset your kindle or something. Good luck,hope it all works out for you.

Try the second button under the volume control that reads Format. Most HD channels are in the 16:9 format, so you will have lines above and below the picture. Sometimes you will have lines on each side when commercials are on. A lot of commercials are still in the 4:3 format. As you click on the Format button you can decide on which side you prefer. I usually have mine set on Full, but sometimes I have to set it to Zoom or Fill, depending on the movie. I hope this helps.
