Preferences Menu
The Preferences menu allows you to change some aspects of your TV to fit your
personal preferences. Features in the Preferences menu are: Closed Captioning,
Screen Format, Record Output, Color Scheme, Translucency, Menu Language,
Button Lighting (some models), and Digital Channel Info.
Closed Captioning
You may set the type of captioning displayed from the main tuner. Captioning is
not available from the PIP tuner. Choices within the Closed Captioning menu
are: Caption Display, Analog Captions, Digital Captions, Caption Priority, and
Caption Style.
Caption Display
The Caption Display menu displays a choice list that lets you choose when
closed captioning information is shown on the screen. Input 5 (DVI-HDTV) is
not supported by Closed Captioning.
Closed Captioning On Captioning information is always shown, when
available.
Closed Captioning Off No captioning information is displayed.
On When Muted Captioning information is only shown when the TV’s sound is
muted, when available. (To mute the sound, press the MUTE button on the
remote control and captioning information will appear on the screen, if available.)
Note: If you turned off the speakers in the Audio menu (Fixed Output,
Speakers Off), Closed Captioning won’t appear when you press the MUTE
button on the remote even when you choose On When Muted.
Analog Captions
You can select a closed caption mode, which is the mode, or source, used for
displaying captioning information for analog channels or digital channels, if
available. 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.
