FAQ
Why wont my closed caption turn off?
Find the settings menu on your TV after turning it on. General, followed by “Accessibility Menu,” should be chosen. Select “Caption Settings” next. You will have the choice of either turning them on or off. If the subtitles are on, turn them off.
Can you turn off open captions?
While closed captions can be turned on and off by the viewer, open captions are always visible and cannot be hidden. To view closed captions on television-displayed video, decoders, which are specialized hardware, are required.
Why is my closed captioning not working on my TV?
Check to see if the CC is muted or if the setting is On. CC must be enabled on the device when watching TV through an HDMI-connected device, like a cable or satellite box. Only supported TV programming and supported contents via Video (Composite) input are compatible with closed captioning.
What is the difference between subtitles and closed captioning on directv?
The same font is used for DIRECTV subtitles, which are always yellow with a black outline. More descriptive audio (such as the phrase “music playing”) may be included in closed captioning in an effort to put the words closer to the speaker.
