Closed Captions and Digital Closed
Captions
• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption
decoder. It allows you to view conversations,
narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV.
Closed Captions are available on some TV programs,
and on some VHS home video tapes at the discretion
of the program provider.
• Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption
service available only on digital TV programs (also
at the discretion of the service provider). It is a more
flexible system than the original Closed Caption
system, because it allows for a variety of caption
sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed
Caption service is in use, it will be indicated by the
appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also
indicates the language of the Digital Closed
Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA
(French) or other language codes.
• Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captions. Please look for the “N” symbol to ensure
that captions will be shown.
• In the Closed Caption system, there can be more
than one caption service provided. Each is identified
by its own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services
display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over
the program’s picture.
• In the Closed Caption system, the “Text1” or “Text2”
services display text that is unrelated to the program
being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services
are also superimposed over the program currently
being viewed.

Closed Caption
information
Press CC.
• This will present the Closed Caption information
display.
Press CC while the Closed Caption
information is still on the screen.
• Press repeatedly until you select the desired
closed caption service.
• Depending on the number of caption services
in the signal being received, you will see
information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed.
1/2 means “the first of two services”.
Example:
If a program has three services (Digital
CC(ENG), CC1 and Text1), the closed caption
display will toggle in this sequence:
1/3 ENG 2/3 CC1 3/3 Text1 OFF
• The CC button keeps a record of the last service
selected in its memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG)
you selected is not available for the next
program, or on another channel, the closed
caption service that is available is automatically
selected, and this service appears in
parentheses, e.g.1/3(CC1).
Closed caption services that appear in
parentheses will not be stored in the CC button’s
memory as your last selected service. Only
services that you have selected with the CC
button are stored.
Examples:
In a case where there are two closed caption
services provided, (for instance, Digital CC(ENG)
and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed as
your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not
broadcast for the next program, the other closed
caption service, CC1, will be displayed in
parentheses.
A closed caption service appears in parentheses
because the service you selected is not available
and a different service is displayed on your
screen. “1/1(CC1)” is displayed instead of “1/2
ENG”.
NOTE
• See page 53 for detailed closed caption settings.
• When using Freeze functions, closed captions will not be
displayed on the right-most screen (still image).
• When the program contains no closed caption, “--”
displays in the closed caption information.
• If the language code, e.g. “ENG”, is not found on Digital
TV programs, “--” will be shown.
• Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1,
Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may
contain none or only some of these services at the
discretion of the program provider.
