Just bought a new Samsung 40" UHDTV (UN40MU6290F) from Walmart. Got it up and running, and it's beautiful. But I've hit a snag. I'm ashamed to say that I can't figure out how to turn Closed Captions on. I found "Caption Settings" under Settings-->General-->Accessibility, and set it to ON, and Caption Mode under it to "Default" (I tried all the other settings as well). But no captions. I don't know what else to do. I am 67 and my hearing is not what it used to be. I used CC regularly on my old TV. This TV is visually lovely, but will not be of much use to me w/o CC. I must be missing something, or doing something wrong...I cannot imagine that a top-of-the-line 2017 UHD TV doesn't support CC.

Hi @Hamilton-Vargus. Which model TV do you have?
(The thread OP's was a US model. The guide for Closed Captions for their model is here, but unsure exactly the reason as to why it wasn't working in their case - or if they resolved it.)

I have bought the 7100 series Samsung Smart TV, which is a 2018 or 2017. I cant get the captions onto the streaming videos either. Which is the reason I bought a SMart TV in the first place. I didnt get any on the first movie I tried to watch from Amazon Prime, so I quit it and tried another movie. This one had very tiny captions I could barely read so I ended up watching it on my big Apple Imac desktop computer instead where the captions were much bigger than on the TV screen. Since Best Buy was the one that did all the settings for me maybe I should call them. They only put the apps on and the CC for the main TV, but we did not try to see how streaming video looked like.

Bought a Samsung (UN43NU7100F) and are not able to turn off the close caption. We have gone into menu and accessability and turned it off but when we go back to our TV program it is still there. What are we doing wrong?

Hit the source button on the remote, upper right, if you are trying to watch a streaming service or non cable box show, set source to TV, not HDMI ETC. Press the CC button, make sure first you have set up CC using the samsung remote. I could not get CC when I was set to HDMI.

Hi Bubba!!
I was thrilled to find your instructions. However they did not work for me.

Still, no captions on any channel.
