Using Closed Captioning

Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning
information, which lets you display the audio portion of a
program as text on the TV screen.

Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all
times. Only specific programs encoded with closed-
captioning information are applicable. When a program is
closed captioned, the CC icon is displayed in the channel
banner. See Chapter 2 for more information about the
channel banner.

Closed-Caption Modes

The TV offers eight closed-captioned modes, including
four text modes.

To set the Closed-Caption Mode:

1.

Select Screen from the Main menu.

2.

Highlight Closed-Caption Mode and press OK (the

Closed-Caption Mode appears).

3.

Highlight your choice and press OK (the Screen

menu appears again).

Note:

The Text modes cover nearly half of the

picture on the screen to display the closed-
captioned text. Most broadcasters use the CC
mode, which displays a few lines of captions at
a time.

Tip

If you don’t know which Closed-Caption mode to use, select
CC1. CC1 is probably the mode that is used in your area. CC2,
CC3, and CC4 are reserved for foreign languages, but are rarely
used at this time.
