Philips CCB255AT - Manual (Page 54)

When you watch a program that is being broadcast with closed
captions, you can access on-screen boxes containing the pro-
gram’s dialogue (for example, what a character is saying), dialogue
in a foreign language, or information (such as a channel guide,
schedule, or announcements). Follow the steps below to select
closed captions.
Not all TV programs and commercials are broadcast with closed
captions. Similarly, all types of closed captions (second language,
half-screen text, etc.) are not always broadcast. If closed caption-
ing is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate
a problem with the TV/VCR. Refer to your area’s TV program
listings for the shows offered with closed captions.
