Using the closed caption decoder

Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along with their regular broadcasts. Your TV can decode that information and display it on the TV screen.

Closed captioning was initially designed sc that those wiLh hearing difficulties could more fully enjoy viewing television. However,

closed captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:

• helping children learn to read

• learning a foreign language

• using the television without, disturbing otl:ers

52 Chapter 3: Operating Your TV

Using the closed caption decoder (cont.)

There are two types (modes) of captioning that broadcasters can send:

Captions: standard captioning which is related to the program that is being shown. Standard captioning usually follows the dialog of the characters on-screen and only display,; when the broadcaster is sending the closed captioning.

Text: text captioning can contain information such as weather or news that is not related to the program that is being shown. Text

captioning blocks out your view of the program you are watching.

Your TV can decode two different types of sil,mals, or data channels,
