Im sorry to tell you, the only way to turn off the closed caption, is to pruchace an original remote. The closed caption funtion is in the remote menu . If you do not have an owners manual to see how to address this . please go to http://www.p4c.philips.com/na4/c/cca1...

Ok great im glad you went to the link and it helped you. I just learned something also. You CAN access the menu from the front panel. Most manufacturers you cannot. come visit and search around sometime, as we have lots to read and to explore here.

I have a similar problem with

I have a similar problem with my magnavox-phillips 32 inch tv.

MS 3252S431

the captions are always on.

the cc button on my remote will no longer turn off the captions (all other buttons work).
about a year after we bought the set, whenever we turned on the tv the captions came on.
we would have to turn them off with the remote.
(there seems to be nothing in the menu dealing with closed captions)
but now, the cc button on the remote doesn't work and we can't turn them off.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Larry,

Larry,
thanks for your time and the url.

I really think the cc button on my remote is not activating something in the set.  All the other buttons on the remote work.  We bought a universal remote and all the buttons on that work except the cc. button.
interestingly, about a year after we bought the set the captions always came on when we turned on the set, and we had to use the remote to turn them off.  now, that cc button doesn't work.  
i suppose it could be that i need a philips remote, but since the universal works (except the cc button) i supsect something in the set.  any thoughts?
thanks

Get a remote from a freind or

Get a remote from a freind or someone, as the remote you have has a bad function. I have seen it a 10000000000 times. Ask around, as all you need to do is turn it off. Borrow one to turn it off. Or buy one.
