For viewing Closed Caption of digital broadcasting, set the aspect ratio to FULL.
(If viewing with H-FILL, JUST, ZOOM or 4:3, characters will be cut off.)

If analog connected equipment is used for displaying or recording, closed caption (CC) should be set On/Off on the
connected equipment.
The CC mode setting of the TV will not affect the analog input.
If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will also be output in analog format.
