Viewing Closed Captions
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows.
These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign-language trans-
lations. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-recorded
video tapes also provide closed captions. Most DVDs and pre-recorded commercial video tapes
provide closed captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television sched-
ule and on the tape’s packaging:

In caption mode, captions
appear at the bottom of the screen,
and they usually cover only a small
portion of the picture.
In text mode, information unrelated
to the program, such as news or
weather, is displayed. Text often
covers a large portion of the screen.
Different channels and fields
display different information: Field 2
carries additional information that
supplements the information in
Field 1. (For example, Channel 1
may have subtitles in English, while
Channel 2 has subtitles in Spanish.)

Misspellings and unusual

closed caption transmissions, especial-
ly those of live events. There may be a
small delay before captions appear
when you change channels. These are
not malfunctions of the TV.
