C
losed Captioning allows
you to read the voice con-
tent of television programs on
the TV screen. Designed to
help the hearing impaired, this
feature uses on-screen text
boxes to show dialogue and
conversations while the TV
program is in progress.
Note: Broadcast stations will
often use spelling abbrevia-
tions, symbols, dropouts and
other grammatical shortcuts in
order to keep pace with the
on-screen action. These factors
vary with the source of the
captioned text material and do
not indicate a need for TV
service.
Closed
Captions will be
interrupted briefly
when you mute or
adjust the volume,
change channels, or
press the
STATUS/EXIT
button to see the
current channel
number.
