Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view cor/versations, narration and sound dlects as subtFtles on your TV. Closed
Captions are available on some TV programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the discretion ot the program provider.
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption sen/ice available only on digital TV programs (also at the discretion of the service provider). It is a more flexible system than the odginal Closed Caption system, because it allows for a variety ot caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is Fn use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3 letter
abbreviation that also indicates the language ot the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French) or other language codes.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes ofler closed captions. Please look tot the "_" symbol to ensure
that captions will be shown.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identh'ied by its
own number. The "CC1" and "CC2" services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program's 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.

information
Depending on the number of caption services inthe signal being received> you will see information such as
1/2 or 1/4 displayed. 1/2 means <<theflint of two services '>
Example: If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CCI
and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this sequence:
Illlill_-il_W_-EII
The CO button keeps a record of the lastservice selected inits 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 available is automatically selected, and this service
appeals in parentheses, e.g "1/3(CC1)". Closed Caption services that appear in palentheses will not be stored in the CO button's 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 (tor instance, Digital CC(ENG) and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG)is displayed as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast for the next program, the other closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in
parentheses. A closed caption service appears in parentheses because the sen/ice you selected is not available and a different service is displayed on your screen. "1/1 (CC1)" is displayed instead of "I/2/ENG".
