Captions on Analog Channels
The TV can decode captions from ANT 1/ANT 2 and the
VIDEO composite and S-VIDEO jacks. Broadcasters can
send either standard closed captions or text service. Stan-
dard closed captions follow the dialogue of the program and
display in a small section of the screen. Text-service closed
captions often contain information such as weather or
news and cover a large portion of the screen.
IMPORTANT
t Analog text-service options display a large
black or gray box on the screen when no signal
is being broadcast.

broadcaster. If captions show strange charac-
ters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is not a
malfunction of the TV.
t Closed caption signals are not available through
HDMI or component jacks. See the menus for
these devices for closed-caption decoding.
Captions on Digital Channels
The TV can decode captions from ANT 1/ANT 2 only.
Broadcasters can send up to six different captioning
selections or can send analog captions that match those
sent by the analog station. A TV station may broadcast
only one or two types of captions or none at all.
