Closed captioning was originally invented for television viewers with hearing disabilities, but it's useful any time you want to be able to read what is being said on TV. Sony Bravia televisions have settings that allow you to turn on closed captioning all the time, only when the TV is muted or turn it off completely. The television remote provides two options you can choose from when you want to stop the CC text from scrolling across your screen.

Step 1

Press the "CC" button at the top of the remote. The current setting appears.

Step 2

Continue pressing the "CC" button until "Closed Captions: Off" appears.

Step 3

Press the "Return" button to exit the CC display. Closed captioning is turned off.
