For analog channels, broadcasters can send either
standard closed captions or text service. Standard
closed captions follow the dialogue of the characters on
screen 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.
For digital channels, broadcasters can send up to six dif-
ferent captioning selections or can send analog captions
that are the same as those sent by the analog station.
Each TV station may broadcast only one or two types of
captions or none at all. The TV cannot decode closed
captions received on COMPONENT or HDMI inputs.

The TV can display one of the following captions for
analog sources:
• CC1, CC2, CC3, or CC4: standard closed-caption
signals
• Text1, Text2, Text3, or Text4: Text-service signals
• On if mute: Closed captions appear when audio
is muted. When selected, press MUTE on the TV

Background
To make the analog closed captions easier to read, you
can choose to display the background color as either
black or gray behind the text.

sending only analog captions converted to digital,
then the analog caption settings apply.
