Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along
with their regular broadcasts. Your TV can decode that information
and display it on the TV screen.
There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send:
"standard" and "text."
Standard captioning is related to the program that is being
shown. Standard captioning usually follows the dialogue of the
characters on-screen.
Text captioning often contains information such as weather or
news. Text captioning blocks out your view of the program you are
watching.
Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals
and four different "text captioning _' signals on each TV channel.
However, each station may be broadcasting only one or two
captioning signals, or none at. all.
When setting the decoder you can choose:
• to display one of four "standard captioning" signals ( _,_--C7:1,
:2, _ :3, _ :4),
• to display one of four "text captioning" signals ( _-_ : Text 1, [] :
Text 2, [] : Text 3, _-_ : Text 4),
• to display captions when muting ( [] :_rhen Muting),
• or to turn the captions off ( [] : Off).
If you select "[] :When Muting," the standard captioning signal
( [] :1) will appear whenever you use the MUTE button.
If you set the decoder to a "standard" caplfion setting and tune to a
broadcaster that is not sending a caption si_,mal, no captions will
appear.
If you set the decoder to a "text" setting and. tune to a broadcaster
that is not sending a text sig:aal, a large black rectangle will block
your screen.
The content of captions are determined by the broadcaster. If your
captions show strange characters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it
is not a malfunction of the 27V.
