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 "
" 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.
1 Press CC.
This will present the Closed Caption information
display.
2 Press CC while the Closed Caption information is still on
the screen.
Press repeatedly until you select the desired closed
caption service.
Closed Caption information
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:
The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected
in its memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3 ENG) 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.
