I have a philips 2005 tv model number 2DPT6441/37 closed caption stays on when we first turn the tv on. I can turn it off with the remote by hitting the cc button.

I have direct tv, and had the same problem. After an hour on the phone with the worthless tech, I gave up. Finally I figured it out. First of all do you have closed caption problems or is it "subtitles". mine turned out to be direct tv subtitles, not closed caption. I hit the yellow button on the direct tv remote, and presto. Subtitles was set to the on position. changed it to off, and what do you know. fixed.

Find a button on the tv manual control said Menu,press it. Goto tv menu find and turn off all CC1,2,3 and text 1,2,3.U should have no more closed caption.

Had to but universal remote with a button called PIP hit it and it took it me to the closed caption screen it turned it off. Thanks.

Bluffy you should access the menue on your remote and be able to shut it off!

Simply hit the cc button twice. Thank you and have a Happy Holiday

I had the same problem. I got a Philips Magnavox Universal Remote that has a closed captioning button [CC]. Here's a link to the same type:

I think that is the closed caption box. as you look at the front of the tv the ears are for up and down and the face is the menu button. hit the face once the menu will come up . then hit the down button to get to the close caption. then hit the up volume key to enter close caption. from there turn close caption off then hit the face key and that should do it.

I called the Magnavox tech support - put the TV on channel 2,
hit the cc button repeatedly and problem solved.
thanks for contacting me.

Hit The PIP Button On The Remote Until It Says CC OFF

If you dont have the original remote, its going to be kinda hard, as universals wont work on this funtion on this set. The original remote has a button marked "CC" toward the bottom of the remote. Maybe you can borrowe on from a friend or a local sales store just so you can turn off the closed caption.. You can purchae a replace remote that is exactly the same as the original at http://www.remotes.com and enter your model number.
