Using the TV’s Menu System
Analog Captions
You can select a closed caption mode, which is the mode, or source, used for
displaying captioning information for all analog channels. The content of CC and
Text are different; you can select which one you want to see on the screen.
CC CC displays information at any position on the screen. It overlays the text
on top of the picture as it is received.
Text Text displays information at one particular position (such as the bottom
third) of the screen. You cannot see the picture underneath the text.
You can choose between eight closed caption modes, or sources:
• CC1 and Text 1 are the primary caption and text services. The captioning or
text is displayed in the same language as the program’s dialog.
• CC3 and Text 3 serve as the preferred data channels. The captioning or text
is often a secondary language translation, simplified English, or displayed at
a slower rate.
• CC2 and CC4 and Text 2 and Text 4 are rarely available and broadcasters
use them only in special conditions, such as when CC1 and CC3 are not
available, or Text1 and Text3 are not available.
Digital Captions
You can select a closed caption, service mode (1-6) for digital channels. The
service modes support MPEG-2 based transport sources such as DTVLink.
Service 1 and Service 2 are the primary and secondary languages, respectively.
Service 3 and Service 4, 5, 6 are additional caption sources that may be
available. Specific label names may be displayed (e.g., Spanish) instead of a
generic label (e.g., Service 1), if available.
Caption Priority
You can choose whether the TV uses digital or analog captions for digital TV
programs that have both or either.
• If you select analog captions and they are available for a digital TV
program, the CC icon in the banner lights.
• If you select digital captions and they are available for a digital TV program,
the CC icon in the banner lights.
Caption Style
Customize closed captioning for the digital captions by choosing the settings for
the following options:
Caption Size is the font size (Standard, Large, Small) of the text characters.
Caption Font is a complete assortment of letters, numbers, punctuation marks,
etc. of a given font design. You have eight fonts with varying styles of spacing
from which to choose.
Note: A preview graphic of the caption font appears on the right.
