Using the TV’s Menu System
• CC1 and Text 1 are the primary caption and text services. The captioning or text is
displayed in the same language as the program’s dialog.
• CC3 and Text 3 serve as the preferred data channels. The captioning or text is often a
secondary language translation, simplified English, or displayed at a slower rate.
• CC2 and CC4 and Text 2 and Text 4 are rarely available and broadcasters use them
only in special conditions, such as when CC1 and CC3 are not available, or Text1 and
Text3 are not available.

A digital TV program may include analog-TV captions and
digital-TV captions, either one of the two, or neither of the
two. The setting above will determine which type of
captions the TV will display.
Analog captions will be used more often in the early years
of digital TV broadcasting. Digital captions are more
advanced and have new capabilities.
If a digital TV program has both analog and digital captions:
Use the analog captions at all times.
Use the digital captions if available, otherwise use analog.
