Menu on Cable Box and change the C/C options. Or call your local cable guy

On a SA 3100HD, press Menu and select which mode of CC you want
On--Mute--Off.

THANK YOU!!! I bought a big Samsung LCD yesterday, got it home and found I couldn't get CC's. Called Comcast, they said they would find out how and call me back in 15 minutes. That was 15 hours ago. I was ready to ask for my money back on the TV until your postings showed me how to do it--in time to watch Colin Powell endorse Obama. THANKS!
