Using the closed caption decoder

Many broadcasters now supply closed captimfing information along
with their regular broadcasts. YotLr TV can decode that information

and display it on your TV screen.
There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send:

"standard" and "text." Standard captioning usually follows the
dialogue of the characters on-screen. Text captioning often contains

information such as weather or news and blocks out your wiew of the
program you are watching.

Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals and
four different "text captioning" signals on each TV channel.

However, each station may be broadcasting only one or two captioning

signals, or none at all.

• helping children learn to read,

• learning a foreign language, and

• using the television without disturbing others.
