Using the Closed Caption
Menu
Use the CC (Closed Caption) menu to turn on or off
caption display and to select options. You can also use
the remote control button CC to turn caption display on
or off.
Your TV is equipped with an internal closed caption
decoder. It allows you to view 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 election of the
program provider.
Digital Closed Caption service is a caption service
available only on digital TV programs (also at the
election of the service provider). It is a more flexible
system than the original closed caption system,
because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in
use, it is indicated by a three-letter abbreviation that
also indicates the language of the Digital Closed
Captions: ENG (English) or SPA (Spanish) or FRA
(French), or other language codes.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captioning. Look for the symbol to ensure that captions
appear.
In the closed caption system, there can be more than
one caption service provided. Each is identified by its
own number. CC1 through CC4 services display
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the
program picture.
In the closed caption system, the T1 through T4
services display text that is unrelated to the program
being viewed, such as weather or news. These
services are also superimposed over the program
currently being viewed.
■ Depending on the number of caption services in
the signal being received, you will see information
such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed. 1/2 means “the
first of two services.”
■ Example: If a program has three services (Digital
CC(ENG), CC1 and Text1), the closed caption
display toggles in sequence.
■ The CC button keeps a record of the last service
selected in its memory. If the last closed caption
mode 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 appears in parentheses.
Closed caption services that appear in
parentheses are not retained in the CC button
memory as your last selected service. Only
services that you have selected with the CC button
are retained.

When you have the signal source
equipment connected using an HDMI or a
component video connection, closed
caption information may not always be
available because the source equipment
may not pass the information to the TV
across these connectors.
