would this work if I used a partial sheet to help my friend better read her closed caption on the TV? She can more or less see the show itself, but is nearly deaf, and cannot read the CC any more. Thanks for so clever ideas! :)

sorry-- it won't work for that use. It needs to be used in your hands just a few inches from the book or what you are trying to magnify. I held one up in front of my TV a few inches away from the screen, but then when I backed up, everything was blurry through it. Maybe getting one of those wireless headsets that she could hear the TV through would be better....I also saw a unit (with a volume control knob) that looked like a small radio that could sit right by her and that transmits the sound from the TV so it is right next to you for hard of hearing people.

Some Dish and DirecTV receivers do not include the closed caption stream. I find it frustrating but you may need to find the solution through your content provider rather than through LG.

Not unless you use the RCA hook-up (red, yellow, white). Use of the HDMI cable somehow prevents the closed captioning from showing on screen, even if your television has this capability. CNET has some questions/answers about this.

You can put chapter markers at the beginning and ending of each section of commercials. Then after doing that, you can set each section to "hidden" or to "visible". Then, of course, finalize the disk. Once you've hidden the sections you don't want to see, you will not see them when you play the disk. There are two limitations when using only chapter markers with no titles: 1) I haven't figured out how to name the chapters, so that I can select a desired chapter from a menu. 2) With DVD+RW, you have a maximum of 99 chapters within each title. I need around 150 for a particular DVD I made, so I really need to figure out how to set up titles. I tried once, but I ended up erasing most of the contents of the disk. However, the nice thing about DVD+RW is that, even after finalizing the disk, you can go back and make changes to it again. I'll bet if I simply make a copy of the disk, I can work with the copy to figure out how to do titles; if I mess it up, I'll just make another copy to experiment with.

The Closed Captions does not work with Netflix on this TV. I have to hook my Wii, or another streaming device up, to get the Captions. Also, the HULU Streaming App stopping working. NOT good for a Streaming device. Best to buy one separately.

Roku 3 has the ability to display closed captioning, and has custom subtitle display options. It ultimately depends on the media you are playing, such as netflix, or hulu, or your own personal videos via plex. If the source you're playing has subtitles then the roku should be able to display them.

I've read with it outside without problem. However, just like with any device the light play (where the light is in relation to you and the device) is going to factor in. There are multiple color options though, which may help alleviate any lighting issue. There is Black and White (Black Letters, White Background), White and Black (White Letters, Black Background), and Sepia.

Not that I know of. One of my problems with this series of LG TV's (I have the 42" version) is that a lot of the functions are just too much trouble, including the one you mentioned. Closed caption is a another good example. You can't set it to come on automatically when you put the TV on mute, or even have a 1 or 2-step toggle on the remote to turn closed caption off and on. Sorry I couldn't give you a positive "how-to" in answer to your question.

You can turn off the cable box using the power button on the box itself, then push the menu button (still using box, not remote) . That will bring up a menu that lets you enable captions, for this part it is OK to use the remote or the box curser keys.

I would like an answer to this closed caption problem. My tv has no html. Player generated subtitles does not work b ecause the player cannot generate subtitles.

Rufus, Just bought this and love it, but, yes, the text generated from using CC onscreen button is very small. May be a way to get captions from the program source (such as streamed PBS or DVDs) or to increase size of the "default" CC text. Will get back to you if I find a way.Ok I'm back and and the text size isn't as small as I thought. It seems to measure 3/8", which works fine for me at 7 feet away. I think 3/8" is the suggested minimum size for viewing up to about 10 feet away for captioning. There is some variation in fonts, but it mostly seems to be uppercase sans serif something like Tahoma, if that means anything to you. You can also turn on subtitles to DVDs. Hope this helps.

Do you have Acrobat Reader or Professional? I'm not sure if Reader has highlighting ability, and I can't check since I have professional, but the highlighting tools should be under Comments &gt; Comment

Hi Scampi, No it has no close captioning feature, but it does have a sleep timer function. Thanks, PCrush

The mute button worked. Thanks for the tip on the subtitles. I've got a 32" TCL.

Hello Pam, The captioning is provided free of charge by the FCC and is in real time. When you answer an incoming call, it is best to ask the caller to hold while a live captioner connects to the call. There is a slight delay while that happens but it isn't bad. I use one of these in my office as I am hearing impaired. I have had it for about 4 months now. It works well and for those who use it but aren't hearing impaired, the captioning feature can be turned off and a captioner will not connect.

The point is that I can't just go to these websites and easily determine if they have the revue blocked. The only way to definitively make that determination is to actually buy a revue, and find out for myself. That's hardly the preferred option. I agree that the browser could be a pain...especially when viewing 3 minute video clips. For full episodes of 20-60 minutes, however, I could live with it.
