Using closed caption decoder
Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along
with their regular broadcasts. Your TV can decode that informa-
tion and display it on the TV sc.reen.
Closed captioning was initially designed so that those with hearing
difficulties could more fully enjoy viewing television. However,
closed captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:
• helping children learn to read
• learning a foreign language
• using the television without disturbing others
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 and only displays when the broadcaster is
sending the closed captioning.
Text captioning often contains information such as weather or
news. Text captioning blocks out your view cf the prograra you are
watching.
Your TV can decode four different standard captioning signals and
four different text captioning signals from each TV station. How-
ever, 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 signal]s ( _ :1, _ :2,_ :3,
[] :4)
• one of four text captioning signals ( [] :Text 1, [] : Text 2,
: Text 3, [] : Text 4)
• captions when muting (c_l: When 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" capt:ion setting and tune to a
broadcaster that is not sending a caption signa!, no captions will
appear.
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 TV.
