Is there a way to turn off closed caption on this older sanyo tv ds27580

You will need to have CAPTION button on the universal remote control to turn on/off the caption, if it does not have that function then you will need the original remote.
SANYO remote model GXBJ is needed for this TV.
You can get used one for $20 on EBAY or a lot more for new one at:

hi,
For switching off the closed caption option do the following.

1. Press CC on the remote.
• This will present the Closed Caption information display.

2. Press CC while the Closed Caption information is
still on the screen.
• Press repeatedly until you select the desired closed
caption service as OFF.
ok

See page 6 (CAPTION button on the remote) and page 14 on how to use Closed Caption functions.

Have you tried unplugging the entire device and plug it back in 15 secs later.

Hi Hfrohman, This may sound crazy, but, press and hold the power button on the TV while unplugging it, continue to hold power button for 60 seconds or more. Release it and plug TV back in. Sometimes that will clear the settings.

I hope that works for you.

It is not possible without the remote.

The closed captioning decoder circuit in your TV set may not be working, or the closed captioning information from the station may not be present. Start investigating by finding out if there is actualy closed caption from the station that you are tuned in to. If so, then call the tech support for your set to know if there is something that you missed in the set-up for the closed captioning. It may be very simple. If all of this does not work, then the closed captioning decoder in the set may not be working properly and require service.

I am sorry you don't. You will need the original remote. I have enclosed a link where you can see the original remote and order one if you want to. If you see the picture, there is a caption button on the remote to turn on and off the closed captions Good Luck.
