Captions on Digital Channels
The TV can decode captions from the ANT input only.
Broadcasters can send up to six different captioning
selections or can send analog captions for a program
that originated in analog format. A TV station may broad-
cast only one or two types of captions or none at all.
Captions on Analog Channels
The TV can decode captions from the ANT input and
the composite VIDEO jacks. Broadcasters can send
either standard 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.

Recommendations for digital captions:
+ A white font on a black translucent back-
ground makes an easy-to-read combination.
+ Use contrasting colors for captions and back-
ground.
