Viewing Closed Captions
This TV can display the closed captions that are
broadcast with many TV programs. These
captions are usually subtitles for the hearing
impaired or are foreign language translations. All
VCRs record the closed caption signal from
television programs, so home-recorded
videotapes can also provide closed captions.

provide closed captions. Check for the closed
caption symbol in your television schedule and
on the tape packaging:
