Captions on Analog Channels
The TV can decode captions from 
ANT 1
/
ANT 2
 and the 
INPUT 1–3
 jacks.  Broadcasters can send either stan-
dard closed captions or text service.  Standard closed 
captions follow the dialogue of the program and display 
in a small section of the screen.  Text-service closed 
captions often contain information such as weather or 
news and cover a large portion of the screen.
IMPORTANT
•  Analog text-service options display a large
black or gray box on the screen when no signal
is being broadcast.
The content of captions is determined by the
broadcaster. If captions show strange charac-
ters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is not a
malfunction of the TV.
Closed caption signals are not available through
HDMI or component jacks. See the menus for
these devices for closed-caption decoding.
Captions on Digital Channels
The TV can decode captions from
ANT 1
/
ANT 2
 and IEEE 
1394 devices only.  
Broadcasters can send up to six 
different captioning selections or can send analog cap-
tions that match those sent by the analog station.  A TV 
station may broadcast only one or two types of captions 
or none at all.

Font Color White, Black, Magenta, etc. Guidelines for setting digital captions:
•  Use contrasting colors for captions and 
background.
•  Check readability of captions using the 
sample text in the upper right corner of 
the menu.
•  A white font on a black translucent
background makes an easy-to-read
combination.
