TV Repair Assistance needed

To get words of dialogue off a TV, you have a few options:

1. Check the TV settings: Some televisions have built-in closed captioning options that allow you to display the dialogue as text on the screen. Look for the "CC" or "Caption" button on your TV remote control. Pressing this button should cycle through different captioning options, including turning it off, enabling standard captions, or enabling captions specifically for dialogue.
2. Use the TV menu: Access your TV's menu settings by pressing the "Menu" button on your remote control. Navigate to the "Settings" or "Preferences" section and look for the "Caption" or "Subtitles" settings. You may find options to enable or disable captions, adjust caption styles, or choose captioning presets. Explore these settings to see if there's an option to display dialogue as text.
3. External Closed Captioning Device: If your TV doesn't have built-in closed captioning features or if you prefer more advanced captioning options, you can consider using an external closed captioning device. These devices connect to your TV and provide enhanced closed captioning functionality, including the ability to customize the display of dialogue. Search online or consult with an electronics retailer for external closed captioning devices compatible with your TV.
4. Streaming Services: If you're watching content from a streaming service, such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, they often have their own closed captioning options. Look for the closed captioning settings within the streaming service's interface. You can usually enable or disable captions, and in some cases, customize the captioning style or size.

Remember that the availability and functionality of closed captioning options may vary depending on your TV model, so consult your TV's user manual or contact the manufacturer's support if you need further assistance.

Hi,

Does your cable company support CC?

If you have the original remote control, there will be a button marked "CC", and pressing it once, the closed caption funciton will turn OFF, and for an other press, it will re-appear. Now, here you are using a universal remote control. So it will be difficult to make closed caption. Try to enter its function menu by using present remote control, where you can make this funicion OFF, if you could enter into it.

Hello
This CRT based tV is an anlogue one. You can use a universal remote control, except to unlock the FPA lock to this TV. By anyway, this TV has been locked with FPA lock, you must have its original remote control to unlock the lock. You can use most of the RCA universal remote controls with this TV.
RCA RCR 311W will be better. The setup codes are:
1000, 1002, 1004, 1005, 1014, 1025, 1078, 1081, 1095, 1096, 1097, 1098, 1099, 1100, 1101, 1111, 1128, 1130, 1132, 1134, 1144, 1146, 1149, 1171, 1205
OK.

There is a Menu button on the TV for the TS2554 C101. Press this button to get the OSD menu. Then press the vol +/- buttons to highlight Set. Use the Ch +/- buttons to get Closed Caption. Then press Vol+ or Vol - to get the closed caption menu. Use the Ch+/- buttons to set the desired closed caption setting and then press Vol + or Vol - to confirm the selection. Press Menu again to exit.

This will only help if the captions are being interpreted by the TV. If there are open captions, they will not go away. If the closed captioning is on at a set top box, you will need to turn them off using the controls for the set top box. (I know satellite receivers have independent captions available.)

I hope this helps. If your TV doesn't have a menu button on the set, you will need a remote that has a matching Menu function. Some universal remotes should have this feature.

Hi,

There are several possibilities here so you will need to work with me to resolve this problem. In order for Closed Captioning (CC) to work, you need to make sure the CC settings are correct on the TV, and then make sure they CC is switched on. In addition, if you are using a cable or satellite receiver box, CC also needs to be switched on for these "boxes".

It's easiest to start with the TV. Please make sure you have done the following:

1. Check the Closed Caption settings are as follows from the TV on-screen menu as follows:

a) Press the "MENU" button on the DYNEX remote
b) Press the RIGHT arrow twice to highlight the "SETUP" menu
c) Press the DOWN arrow once to open the "SETUP" menu
d) Press the DOWN arrow twice to highlight "CLOSED CAPTION"
e) Press the RIGHT arrow or the "ENTER" button once to open the CLOSED CAPTION MENU
f) Make sure the Closed Caption option "CC MODE" is set to "ON". This can be changed using the UP/DOWN arrow keys to highlight "CC MODE" and using the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to switch between off and on.

The "Basic Selection" and "Advanced Selection" settings are for analogue and digital closed-captions respectively. In addition, the "Options" sub-menu can be used to change the size and style of the digital closed captions (Advanced Selection). All three of these options should eventually be set according to your personal preferences, but for the purposes of making sure it is working, I suggest you set them as follows:

Basic Selection = CC1
Advanced Selection = Service 1

These options are the basic settings which will display only the spoken dialogue of the TV program.

g) Press "EXIT" on the remote to close the menu and return to viewing mode.

2. Press the "CCD" button on your Dynex remote control. This can be found in the bottom right-hand corner of the remote. Each press of the "CCD" button will cycle the closed captions between ON and OFF. (CCD means Closed Caption Display)

3. Check the Closed Captions are displayed and then adjust the Basic and Advanced Selection options until the type and appearance of the closed captions are how you like them.

If you have done the above and still cannot get it to work, please let me know whether you are using a cable or satellite receiver and the brand/model number. I will then be able to assist you further.

You can use the TV buttons to get access to close caption by pressing menu, volume up or down to select setup when you get to setup press channel down to close caption and use volume up or down to turn it on.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

CC is usually turned off by selecting an inactive choice,i.e.
If CC1 is on, then try CC2......
Further info ? Please provide Model # of TV.......................T.

If you have the Suddenlink remote and the DVR box you can turn captions on or off by accessing a technical menu. To do this, press POWER and Menu buttons together (menu 2 times) to bring up a special menu. Select Closed Captions. On the popup menu select closed captions and using Select button change to OFF or ON as you wish. The trick is to get the menu to come up. Timing of pressing the two buttons is frustrating and it may take a few times befotre you get the special menu.

Assuming whatever your TV receiving from has close caption. (Not all TV channel has close caption) Solution 1) Get a new universal remote that support your model and has close caption button. Once you program in the code for your TV model and it works then all button should also programmed including th close caption button. Solution 2) Search online for the owner manual and read see how to turn it on using buttons on TV (if possible). Solution 3) Get new TV with close caption. (If you have an old old TV with bad and huge pixels then this solution is the best. Your eyes will thank you.)
