CLOSED-CAPTIONING
WHAT IS CLOSED-CAPTIONING?
Closed-captioning is text on the TV screen related to the programming being viewed. What you see is an
abbreviated version of the actors’ dialogue and indications of important background sounds. For sporting events,
closed-captioning provides realtime play-by-play descriptions from the announcers. Closed-captioning is provided
for those requiring assistance understanding and enjoying sound.
DOES MY TV SUPPORT CLOSED-CAPTIONING?
Many TVs support closed-captioning through the RF and baseband inputs. When your HDTV-to-set-top connection
is through the YPrPb port or the DVI port, closed-captioning is decoded and displayed by the HD terminal.
