Closed Captioning (digital and analog) Explained
• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to
view conservations, narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV.
Closed Captions are available on most TV program, and on some VHS home
video tapes, at the election of the program provider.
•
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available on digital TV
programs (also at the election of the service provider). It is a more flexible
system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows a variety of
caption sizes and font styles.
•
Not all programs and VHS video tapes offer closed caption. Please look for
the CC 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.
Rating Explained
General Operation
To block channels you don’t want your children to watch, you can filter them with the
ratings function. MPAA lets you control ratings for movies. For regular TV programs you
can use USTV settings. USTV settings lets you filter what content you want at each age
level, TV-Y, to TV-MA (refer to definitions below). Below are definitions for each setting.
USTV Rating
TV-Y (USTV) – For All Children
This program is designed to be appropriate for all children. Whether animated or live-
action, the themes and elements in this program are specifically designed for
a very young audience, including children from ages 2-6. This program is not expected
to frighten younger children.
TV-Y7 (USTV) – Directed to Older Children
This program is designed for children age 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for
children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between
make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild
fantasy violence or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7.
Therefore, parents may want to consider the suitability of this program for their very
young children. Note: For those programs where fantasy violence may be more intense
or more combative than other programs in this category, such programs will be
designated TV-Y7-FV.
