Did you try turning it off with the closed caption button on the remote? Its labelled cc. If you dont have the original Vizio remote you will need to go into menu-settings and find the closed caption and turn it off there

SOURCE: I have a Sanyo TV

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:

I have a 19'' aoc flat panel,l19w861.after installing a new antenna i tried to reprogram it but all i saw on screen was the words

If no sound and closed captions (writing) appear in the menu look for (it may also be found in the box menu for cable box) captions and either turn it off or select a different choice.

Most sets (not the cable box) will offer captions all the time or only when sound is muted.

I can't get closed caption off my dvd player

Some DVD players cannot handle closed captions. Cheaper or older hardware players sometimes strip out the closed caption data. Players that have a progressive scan mode sometimes block captions when in this mode. And anything that's connected with an HDMI cable can't pass through captions.Most software players that you use when you play a DVD on your computer don't have any way to decode the captions. Windows Media Player can display DVD captions, and Apple DVD Player can display pop-on captions but not roll-up style captions. Certain paid versions of WinDVD and PowerDVD have CC capability. Look in your player's preferences to see if there are any closed caption options.

The picture is visible but there is a black small screen just covering the picture

Hello; If there is a black box covering part of the picture, it is likely a " TEXT " box that is used with " closed captioning " Read your owner's manual to see how to TURN OFF all closed captioning functions. Download the manual if you don't have one. John

I have an Orion 19"

You usually need the original remote. The trouble with universal remotes is that they generally control only the basic functions of a TV (power, volume, channel) but not much else. Without the original, you often lose other functions. You can try the front panel buttons if yours has them. On some sets the on-screen menus allow you to access caption settings.

But are you sure the captions are coming from the TV? Sure, the TV is displaying them, but if you have a satellite receiver, cable box or digital set-top box, the captions may be coming from that device. This is likely to be true if the captions just mysteriously started and you don't have or aren't using the TV original remote. These devices often don't allow a TV's built-in caption decoder to work properly, so they provide captions themselves. You may have turned captions on using that device's remote. Check the menu for caption controls.

Under captions setting what cc1 and tx1etc. mean?

the tx is a box with writing in it, whereas cc is closed captioning, which is just writing on the screen. if the tx is unavailable, you will get a black screen. try the cc if you want closed captioning. good luck!

Cannot clear the closed caption off screen

go to your menu and turn it off. Or, turn your tv off and unplug it give it 5 minutes to let it reset so it doesnt keep it stored, and turn it back on.


Depends on TV i guess.

good luck.
