USING CLOSED
CAPTIONS
Closed captioning displays the audio
portion of a television program as writ-
ten words that appear on the television
screen (in a form similar to English
subtitles). Closed captions allow view-
ers to read the dialogue and narration
of television programs.
Caption signals are transmitted as part
of the TV broadcast and then decoded
by the TV to display as words.
Caption Tips
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast
two different caption signals on
the same channel. By selecting
MODE 1 or MODE 2 under MODE
SELECTION , you can choose
which signal to view. MODE 1 is
usually the signal with the cap-
tions, while
MODE 2 might show
demonstration or programming in-
formation.
• Not all TV broadcasts include
closed caption signals. Check
your local programming guide.
