Using Audio Setup
The TV provides digital audio output for an AV
amplifier or similar device connected to the Digital
Audio Out optical connector on the TV.
Select an audio output format compatible with the
audio format of the program you are watching and the
connected equipment.
To control this setting when you play video or music
using the Media function, select the Audio option in the
Settings menu; see “Changing Audio options” on
page 75.
Using Closed Caption
Your TV is equipped with an internal closed caption
decoder. It allows you to view conversations,
narration, and sound effects as subtitles on your TV.
Closed captions are available on some TV programs
and on some VHS home videotapes, at the election of
the program provider.
Digital Closed Caption service is a caption service
available only on digital TV programs (also at the
election of the service provider). It is a more flexible
system than the original closed caption system,
because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in
use, it is indicated by a three-letter abbreviation that
also indicates the language of the Digital Closed
Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French),
and so on.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captioning. Look for the symbol to ensure that captions
appear.
In the closed caption system, there can be more than
one caption service provided. Each is identified by its
own number. CC1 and CC2 services display subtitles
of TV programs superimposed over the program
picture.
In the closed caption system, the Text1 or Text2
services display text that is unrelated to the program
being viewed, such as weather or news. These
services are also superimposed over the program
currently being viewed.
■ Depending on the number of caption services
in the signal being received, you see
information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed.
1/2 means the first of two services. If a
program has three services (Digital CC (ENG),
CC1, and Text1), the closed caption display
toggles in sequence.
■ The CC button keeps a record of the last
service selected in its memory. If the last
closed caption mode you selected is not
available for the next program, or on another
channel, the closed caption service that is
available is automatically selected, and this
service appears in parentheses. Closed
caption services that appear in parentheses
are not retained in the CC button memory as
your last selected service. Only services that
you have selected with the CC button are
retained.

available because the source equipment
may not pass the information to the TV
across these connectors.
