Closed captioning on a Vizio TV displays the text of what is being said in the show on the screen so individuals who are hard of hearing can enjoy shows without having to turn the volume up or skip a show altogether. If the closed captioning is more of a hindrance than a help, you can turn it off so you can see more of your screen. You can turn off closed captioning using the remote that came with your Vizio TV.
