(Figure 20)
Turn On or Off the closed caption decoder, select
the type of captions or text, and choose black or
translucent gray as the background color for the
closed caption area.
Broadcasters can send either Standard or Text
closed captioning.
Standard closed captioning follows the dialogue of
the characters on-screen and displays in a small
section of the screen.
Text closed captioning often contains information
such as weather or news and covers a large
portion of the on-screen program. Your TV can
decode four different standard and four different
text closed captioning signals from each TV station.
However, each TV station may broadcast only one
or two closed captioning signals, or none at all.

When Text closed captioning is
selected, a large black or gray box will
appear on your TV screen if no signal
is broadcast.
