Does it provide closed-captioning?

The ROKU I purchased from Amazon is the entry level. There is another one, more expensive that has more remote options. I could find no reference to captions on my ROKU. I tried a couple of channels on the ROKU and was not able to get the tv to enable captions. That may be just my TV. So, intrigued by your question I went on line to ROKU to ask a tech your question. I am happy to tell that I was advised that Roku does support Closed Captions. I was told that you set it up through the "Channel Store" when you do set up for the ROKU.

I dont believe so, I have never seen any options of choice for closed captioning.

Yes and I always use it. There may be a few things here or there where it's not available but I have yet to find a show or movie that didn't have it. I just leave tho cc option on all the time .

Depends on the service. Netflix offers closed captioning and I believe Amazon and Hulu offer it on some of its videos.

based on what i am finding out via searches, HDMI cables do not carry the CC captioning in the video feed. note: subtitles on dvd's do not equal closed captionings, 2 different things this is why you can view subtitles on dvds through hdmi hookup. only work around i have found is to hook up with the old video feed, i.e. yellow rca jack to the tv, then use this video feed as input source on tv when you want cc's.

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

I see what you saw in the manual so I tried in a HD station with my cable box over HDMI and I could not select caption from the menu. I think the reason for this is because the cable box has its own closed captioning. I went into the settings for the box and was able to use closed captioning that way.

You need to switch to an analog input to the TV for cc. HDMI does not transmit cc info (onlu subtitles). I have an HDMI connection I use for BD and most DVDs. I also have a regular analog (video and audio cable) connection to an additional TV input that I select I need to use closed captioning. Both can be connected at the same time and then just switch between inputs on the TV.

Yes. Has additional options for captioning such as digital, background and foreground colors and opacity, and also some other function I'm not familiar with.

I download movies on-line and convert them to mpeg. if necessary. I then put them on flash drive\thump drive and play them through my blu-ray player. Only thing I miss is closed captioning.

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.

Under "General Setup Page" menu setting using the SETUP button to get the setup menu. "Closed captions...closed captions are data that are hidden in the video signal of some discs. Before you select this function, please ensure that the disc contains closed caption information and your TV set also has this function." Directly from enclosed user's manual.

Yes it can. If the TV is set in "Video mode" and CC is turned on, it will display closed captioning. If you are using HDMI mode, the DVR has closed captioned settings that will display closed captioning independent of the TV's settings.

Friend, could you tell me if it offers CAPTIONS when downloading like a Netflix movie?? My son can do this and I can't, and I'm very hard of hearing so cannot understand anything without the CAPTIONS!! (I also have an older Sony Blu-Ray)! (My tv does support it)

This is not voice recognition. When you want the captioning, you press the button and wait a moment or two for someone to start typing. Even though it is not voice recognition, it does work fine. Unfortunately, my hearing is much impaired, but as this is all that is out there for hearing impaired people, you must make do with what it is. I don't mean to downgrade this product.

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.

No! Unless you want to view the contents of the tape while it in being copied. All you need to do in put a tape in its slot and a DVD in its drawer, close both and press the dub button.

Captioning is displayed on streamed material if captions are available on the received media.
