We have a problem with closed captioning, which I need as I am hearing impaired. It seems to disappear intermittently particularly during recorded programs. We have learned that by pausing or backing up we can retrieve it. Is the problem with our Samsung TV or with our Page HDDVR?

Hearing impaired is usually referred to as "closed captioning" or "CC"

are you using the original remote control of the tv? did you try the remote control provided by comcast? go to comcast website for further help.

This feature should be on your remote somewhere. Probably CC for closed caption. There may be a setting for visually impaired under that as well as hearing impaired.

closed captions are not actually part of the video you are seeing but are inserted later in the sequence--no way I know of to record them for whatever reason you might want to do this.

This is a link to both the quick start guide and the full manual for download. http://westinghouse.manuals365.com/HDTV/SK-40H590D.html

I am not sure that this particular function can be set as default however, you may have to set up Closed Captions every time you insert a DVD/VHS.

Hello

Your TV displays the closed captions that are broadcast with some

television shows. These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing

impaired or language translations. All VCRs record the closed caption

signal and most pre-recorded commercial video tapes provide closed

captions. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television

schedule and on the tape's packaging: .

1 Press MENU repeatedly until you see the Setup menu. Press CH
to select "Caption."

2 Press VOL+ to open the Closed Caption menu.

3 Press VOL + to turn closed captioning on.

Misspellings and odd characters can occur in captioning. Also, there may be a

captioning delay after changing channels. Neither situation is a TV malfunction.

4 Press CH to highlight "Mode." Press - VOL or VOL + to choose

"Capt." (captions) or "Text." In caption mode, captions appear and

cover a small portion of the picture. In text mode, information unrelated

to the program, such as news reports, are displayed and
often cover a large portion of the screen.

5 If you wish, use CH , CH , or VOL + to change the captioning

channel or field. Then, press DISPLAY to return to normal viewing.

 Different channels and fields display different information, such as additional
languages or supplemental information

The above link is for the CT-2610 and I can only hope the 2620 is the same. This will open a PDF file. Read this and it should show you how to turn on your CC.

Carl,
Better late than.. I think that the Polo can record the encoded closed captioning onto the HDD, but you have to have a CC equipped television to display the captioning.
The newer Magnavox and Philips recorders sold at Walmart record the captioning, and have the capability to display it even on sets without the built in CC decoder depending upon your recording settings. If you get a digital converter box and connect that as the source to your Polo, you can record CC displayed on the screen if you want.

When you turn it off are you going into the setup menu to do this?? if so after it comes back on and you go back to the menu and you see it..as "on" You will need to save your settings before you exit out of the menu
