Which DVD players play Closed Captioning? NOT subtitles?

NOT subtitles. This is for my hearing impaired husband. Yes we understand the difference between closed caption & subtitles.

No we aren't really interested in a lecture on the tech available. Just want to find an affordable dvd player that will send the captions to the tv. Our ancient vhs player did it just fine but I can't find a DVD player that will do it even tho more than 3/4 of the DVDs we own are supposed to have closed captioning.

It's extremly frustrating. Asked by thisisridiculous 14 days ago Similar questions: DVD players play Closed Captioning subtitles Entertainment > Television.

Similar questions: DVD players play Closed Captioning subtitles.

Thanks. Thot I was making progress 'til I found out the answers were from Autralia :(I'm in the U.S. & have an HDTV. I guess we should have tried to find an old style tv when the one we got when we got married finally quit.

Most remote controls have a button that is marked "C/C" or says "Closed Captioning. " All you have to do is push the button when the DVD starts playing. If it's available on the DVD, it will pop up on the screen.

Some of the remotes, you will have to play around with to figure out what you need to push.....there should be an instruction book that will help you out.

Many thanks, OldI am trying to find a model of DVD player that does in fact do that. As I said to kritipier,My DVD player does not send the data to the TV ever. I am able to set my VCR to send the data & I am able to set the TV to read the data & display it but not the DVD player.

Upon inquiry, the manufacturer claimed "DVD players don't do that. Use the subtitles. "To which I can only ask, "Why are DVDs made with closed captioning if DVD players won't play them.

And what if the DVD doesn't have english subtitles or any subtitles for that matter & only has closed captioning? Which seems to cover an awful lot of my DVDs. " Please, if your DVD player can do it, tell me what brand/model it is.

Check out Philips. Unfortunately, they stopped making the model I have about 5 years ago which figures since every time they add a new gadget, they discontinue making the old model. I don't know if this will help or not, but the one I have plays not only Region 1 DVDs but European ones as well (PAL and whatever region they have in Europe/England).

After searching everywhere for one that would play European DVDs, I found the one I have on Amazon for about $79 so you might want to check out what they have available and all the features are always listed, so you might find it there - if they even still make anything remotely resembling the one I have. I just looked and don't even see a model number - not much help there am I? And I have no idea where the instruction book and box it came in are located - of if I even have them any more!

Philips - based in Holland - is one of the world's leading electronic manufacturers and, if possible, I try to buy their products when I can, the only exception being my Sony TV. So, you might want to check out their product line and see what they have and whether any of their products has the features you're looking for. Good Luck!

Thanks again. What is "region 1"? I'm in the U.S.Is that Region 1?

How do you get Amazon to show all the features of a product? That's been a major stumbling block in my shopping. Thisisridiculous 13 days ago .

Yep, Region 1 is the US and Canada. Most DVDs that are made now are Region Free meaning they'll play on any machine, but I wouldn't go out and replace an older DVD just to get one that was Region Free. On the product page, where it shows a picture of the item, all you have to do is scroll down a little bit below the manufacturer's description and on the left of your screen, you'll find all the specs you need.

And, a lot of them you can click onto for additional information as well. Sometimes there will even be a link to the manufacturer and if you click on that, you'll find tons of valuable information. Just from personal experience, you might want to scroll down even further and read the reviews of the item - I've saved myself a few bucks where there was a DVD or CD and everyone was unanimous in saying the quality was horrible or a poor transfer, whatever, so you might find those of value as well.

My DVD player sends the data to the TV all the time. It is the TV that has the "closed captioning" feature.

Thank you, kritiper. Please tell me what brand/model DVD player you have. My DVD player does not send the data to the TV ever.

I am able to set my VCR to send the data & I am able to set the TV to read the data & display it but not the DVD player. Upon inquiry, the manufacturer claimed "DVD players don't do that. Use the subtitles."To which I can only ask, "Why are DVDs made with closed captioning if DVD players won't play them.

I have a Sylvania DVD/CD player, model # DVL 1000G, purchased in March, 2007.

" "Which DVD players will play closed captioning on my HDTV in the U.S.?" "Will Blu-Ray DVD's play on normal DVD players?" "I want to buy the DVD of "trainspotting" with English subtitles. " "Why is Amazon so reluctant to support closed captioning for Unbox?

Are there any tv/dvd players that play when dvd is inserted.

I want to buy the DVD of "trainspotting" with English subtitles.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
