IMPORTANT
We recommend you use contrasting colors for
captions and background. Black translucent
background combined with a white font make
and easy-to-read combination.
Use care when selecting custom colors. Your
choice may change the legibility or readability
of captions.
IMPORTANT
The content of captions is determined by the
broadcaster. If your captions show strange
characters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is
not a malfunction of the TV.
