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

Broadcasters can send either Standard or
Text closed captioning. Standard closed
captioning follows the dialogue of the char-
acters on-screen and displays in a small sec-
tion 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 sta-
tion. However, each TV station may broad-
cast only one or two closed captioning
signals, or none at all.
Within the Captions menu, you can 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.
