Ctv 41301.... can't remove black box on the screen

I have a Craig model ctv-413 01 tv. I have a black box that appears on the screen that I can not remove.I was told it is a closed caption box. In my tv set up screen I do not have an option to turn this on and off...so my question is first how did it suddenly appear after all these years and how do I get it to go away? thanks for any help you offer.

    it is not a power supply problem. I have both picture and sound. The black box is over the picture as if it was a closed caption box only it is larger and there is no text in it.

    I am using the original remote.

    I do not have cc availible on this tv.  It must be something else.

A square box imposed on top of pix is called a text box.
It is controlled thru the Closed- Caption menu selection.
Enter CC menu and make different selections-try them all,it will help you to understand.....,..T.

  • Vista Electronics Oct 30, 2007

    Evidently you have a source box with CC.....if you hook-up

    Let me know if further info needed......

On my TV certain shows (Craig Furgerson, Oprah, The View)on different networks,a black rectangle, about 1/3 of the picture, appears. I cannot remove it.

That box appears to be from the close caption feautre. If you have the original remote you can disable using the menu and go to audio functions and look for close caption to turn it OFF.
Do you have the user's guide for this TV?
If you do not, could you provide the model number of your TV?

Geat picture no sound from my craig 13" tv, hooked up properly to an att dsl cable box

Make sure that the sound output connectors (the red and white ones) are correctly plugged in (the colours corresponding at both ends of the 3-headed cable) and that the sound volume in the ATT box is almost to the max.

I just plugged it in and it turns on/off by itself.the craig logo pops up for a second then goes away and this repetes

Mine does the same. It's not turning off though, it's just blacked out. The only way to fix this is by leaving it on whilst blacked out and about 10-20 minutes later if you turn it on and back on the picture should show up. Mine's been doing it for some time so it takes longer. :(

My craig tv model ctv-41301 wont turn on

That means that there are solid state components on a printed circuit board that are soldered into place. If the set is a 13 inch it would not be feasable to drop any cash into it as there are 13 inch combo TV sets going for as little as 59 bucks. Good Luck

Black square in the middle of the picture

You have the set configured to display "text 1 or Text 2" in the closed captioning menu. You will need to turn closed captioning off to get rid of this box.
