CLOSED CAPTION
Broadcasters can send either Standard or Test closed
captioning. Standard closed captioning follows the dialogue of the
characters on-screen and displays in a small section of the screen. Text
closed captioning often contains information such as weather or news
and covers a large portion of the on-screen program. This LCD TV can
decode two different standards and text closed captioning signals from
each TV station. However, each TV station may broadcast only one or
two closed captioning signals, or none at all.
Within CC mode, you can select Text1, Text2, CC1 or CC2.
