Using the TV’s Menu System

Using Closed Captioning

Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning information, which lets you display the
audio portion of a program as text on the TV screen.

Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all times. Only specific programs encoded
with closed-captioning information are applicable. When a program is closed captioned, the CC
icon is displayed in the channel banner. See Chapter 2 for more information about the channel
banner.

Closed-Caption Modes

The TV offers eight closed-captioned modes, including four text modes.

To set the Closed-Caption Mode:

1.

Select Screen from the Main menu.

2.

Highlight Closed-Caption Mode and press MENU (the Closed-Caption Mode
appears).

3.

Highlight your choice and press MENU (the Screen menu appears again).

Note: The

Text modes cover nearly half of the picture on the screen to

display the closed-captioned text. Most broadcasters use the

CC mode,

which displays a few lines of captions at a time.

Turning off Closed-Caption

1.

Select Screen from the Main menu.

2.

Press MENU to select Closed-Caption Display.

3.

Highlight Off Always and press MENU. The closed captioning is turned off
and you go back to the Screen menu.

Tip

If you don’t know which Closed-Caption mode
to use, select CC1. CC1 is probably the mode
that is used in your area. CC2, CC3, and CC4
are reserved for foreign languages, but are
rarely used at this time.
