Using the Caption (Closed

Caption) Menu

Caption menu

You can use the Caption (Closed Caption) menu to turn

captioning on or off, and to select options. You can

also turn captioning on or off using the CC button on

the remote control.

Your TV is equipped with an internal closed caption

decoder that enables you to view conversations,

narration, and sound effects as subtitles on your TV.

Closed captions are available on some TV programs,

and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election of

the program provider.
Digital Closed Caption is a caption service available

only on digital TV programs (also at the election of the

program provider). It is a more flexible system than the

original closed caption system, because it allows a

variety of font sizes and styles in the captions. When

the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it is

indicated by a three-letter abbreviation that also

indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions:

ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French), or other

language codes.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed

captioning. Look for the symbol to ensure that captions

appear.

In the closed caption system, more than one caption

service can be provided. Each is identified by its own

number. CC1 through CC4 services display subtitles of

TV programs superimposed over the program picture.
The Text1 through Text4 services display text that is

unrelated to the program being viewed, such as

weather or news. These services are also superimposed

over the program currently being viewed.

Depending on the number of caption services in

the signal being received, you will see information

such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed. 1/2 means “the

first of two services.”
Example: If a program has three services (Digital

CC(ENG), CC1, and Text1), the closed caption

display toggles in sequence.

The CC button stores in memory a record of the

last service selected. If the last closed caption

mode that you selected is not available for the next

program, or on another channel, the closed

caption service that is available is automatically

selected, and this service appears in parentheses.

Closed caption services that appear in

parentheses are not retained in the CC button

memory as your last selected service. Only

services that you have selected with the CC button

are retained.

If the signal source equipment is connected

to the TV at an HDMI or a component video

connection, closed caption information

may not always be available, because the

source equipment may not pass the

information to the TV across these

connectors.
