My Magnavox/Philips 27" TV (27MS4504R) defaults to have the CC "on." Everytime I turn the TV on the closed captioning is activated. I proceed to turn it off by pressing the CC button the remote until "CC OFF." The CC stays off while the TV is on, but once the TV is shut off and turned back on, the CC is activated and turned on.

So, you scroll through the CC options until you get to CC Off, as you have been doing with the button on your remote. Instead of just letting it disappear on its own, you have to hit the "Status/Exit" button when you arrive at the CC Off option, to confirm that you want to turn it off for good. Once you do this, the CC's should not come back once you turn off and turn on your TV. Hope it works!
