Closed Caption information included. Neither are all Closed Caption modes (Caption 1 to 4 or
Text 1 to 4) necessarily being used by a broadcast station during transmission of a closed
caption programme. Check with your local listings for details.

shortcuts in order to keep pace with the on screen action. These vary with the source of the
captioned text material and do not indicate a need for service of the television.
