Using the TV’s Menu System
Closed Caption Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning
information, which lets you display the audio portion of a program as text
on the TV screen. Some programs on digital channels offer digital captioning
information, which gives you more options for the way the captioning is
displayed on the screen.
Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all times—only for specific
programs encoded with closed-captioning information. When a program is
closed captioned, CC is displayed in the channel banner (see Chapter 3 for more
information about the channel banner).
The closed caption options are:
Closed Caption Setting Lets you choose the way both analog and digital
closed captioning information appears on the screen. The Closed caption
setting does not effect the DVI-HDTV input.
Off No captioning information displayed.
On always Captioning information shown always, when available.
On when mute Displays captioning information, when available,
whenever the TV’s sound is muted by pressing the MUTE button. The
captioning information is not displayed when the sound is not muted.
Analog CC Type Lets you choose your preferred type of analog closed
captions.
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.
Notes: The CC options display information at any position on the
screen. These options overlay the text on top of the picture as it is
received.
The
Text options display information at one particular position
(such as the bottom third) of the screen. You cannot see the picture
underneath the text.
Digital CC Type Lets you select a closed caption service mode (1-6) for
digital channels.
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.
