Your TVisequipped withaninternal Closed Caption
decoder.Itallows youtoview conversations, narration
and sound effects as subtitles on your

TV.

Closed
Captions are available on some TV programs and on
some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the
program provider.

Digital Closed Caption service

is

a new caption service
available only on digital TV programs (also at the
discretion of the service provider).

Itisa more flexible
system than the original Closed Caption system,
because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service

is

in
use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter
abbreviation that also indicates the language of the

Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish),
FRA (French) or other language codes.

Not

all

programs and VHS videotapes offer closed

captions. Please look for the

"[CC)"

symbol to ensure

that captions will be shown.

In

the Closed Caption system, there can be more than

one caption service provided. Each

is

identified by its

own number. The

"CC1

" and "CC2" services display

subtitles

of

TV programs superimposed over the

program1s picture.
In

the Closed Caption system, the "Text1" or "Text2"

services display text that

is

unrelated to the program

being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services

are also superimposed over the program currently

being viewed.

Closed Caption
information

• Depending on the number of caption services

in
the signal being received, you will see information
such as

112or114

displayed.

112

means "the firstoftwo

services".
Example:
If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG),
CC1

and Text1),the closed caption display will

toggle

in

this sequence:

"~FE1~_~.

• The CC button keeps a recordofthe last service
selectedinits memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG) you
selected

is

not available for the next program, or
on another channel, the closed caption service
that

is

availableisautomatically selected, and this

service appears

in

parentheses, e.g. "1/3(CC1)".

Closed Caption services that appear

in
parentheses will not be storedinthe CC button1s
memory as your last selected service. Only
services that you have selected with the CC
button are stored.

Examples:

In

a case where there are

two

closed caption
services provided, (for instance, Digital
CC(ENG) and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG)
is

displayed as your current selection, if
Digital CC(ENG)isnot broadcast for the next
program, the other closed caption service,
CC1

, will be displayedinparentheses.

A closed caption service appears

in
parentheses because the service you selected
is

not available and a different service

is

displayed on your screen. "1/1 (CC1)"

is

displayed instead of"1/2/ENG".

• When the program contains no closed caption, "--"

• If the language code, e.g. "ENG",

is

not found on Digital TV

programs, "--" will be shown.

" Four kinds
