Captions: Can anyone help me with turning on captions when viewing through the box?

You can turn off the cable box using the power button on the box itself, then push the menu button (still using box, not remote) . That will bring up a menu that lets you enable captions, for this part it is OK to use the remote or the box curser keys.

I pushed the "PG" button on the remote, located next to the "Subtitle" button. Hope this helps!

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???!!!

Not that I know of. One of my problems with this series of LG TV's (I have the 42" version) is that a lot of the functions are just too much trouble, including the one you mentioned. Closed caption is a another good example. You can't set it to come on automatically when you put the TV on mute, or even have a 1 or 2-step toggle on the remote to turn closed caption off and on. Sorry I couldn't give you a positive "how-to" in answer to your question.

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.

If the channel provider has subtitles, then it's an option with the Roku 2. When I click on a title in Netflix I now have an extra option of "Audio/Subtitles" where I can turn them on & off.

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.)

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

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

Are you able to zoom in on the box to read it? Offhand I don't remember, and my box is long gone.

I returned this item to the store. I had trouble with the subtitles, so I don't think you can turn them off.

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.

If you go to the menu and turn off the captioning feature that is turned on.

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

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

Roku box is capable of handing close captions. Netflix should start streaming captions on some of their library sometime in 2010. I checked this issue out with both Roku and Netflix when I got the box.

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.
