Using the closed caption decoder

!>Important:

Many broadcasters now supply closed caption.ing information along

with their regular broadcasts.

There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send:

"standard" and "text."

Standard captioning displays text that is related to the program
that is being shown. Standard captioning usually follows the
dialogue of the characters on-screen.

Text captioning often contains information such as weather or
news. Text captioning may block your view of the program you are
watching.

Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals

and four different "text captioning" signals o:a each TV channel
(when supplied by the broadcaster).

If you select "When muting," the standard captioning signal
will appear whenever you use the MUTE', button.

Closed captioning was initially designed so that those with hearing
difficulties can enjoy viewing television more. However, closed
captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:

• helping children learn to read,

• learning a foreign language, and

• using the television without disturbing others.
