Closed captions and digital closed

captions

NOTE

• Closed Caption might not appear according to the

condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.

Your TV/DVD is equipped with an internal Closed

Caption decoder. It allows you to view conversations,

narration and sound effects as subtitles on your

TV/DVD. Closed Captions are available on some TV

programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the

discretion of the program provider.
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption

service available only on digital TV programs (also

at the discretion 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 will be indicated by the appearance

of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the

language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG

(English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French) or other

language codes.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed

captions. Please look for the “

” symbol to ensure

that captions will be shown.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than

one caption service provided. Each is identified by

its own number. The “C1” and “C2” services display

subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the

program’s picture. Generally, Closed Captions in

English are transmitted on C1 and Closed Captions in

other languages are transmitted on C2.
In the Closed Caption system, the “Text1” or “Text2”

services display text that is unrelated to the program

being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services

are also superimposed over the program currently

being viewed.

Tune the TV to the desired program.

NOTE

• If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned, no captions will display on-screen.

• If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the each Closed

Caption feature to “OFF“.

• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approx. 10 seconds.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed

Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These

transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may interfere with

Closed Captions.

• Some Cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with

strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

• When a Digital TV Program has both Digital Closed Caption and Analog Closed Caption signals, Digital Closed Caption is

displayed.

Press ϵ/϶ to select your desired Closed

Caption mode.

• When an Analog signal is received, you

can choose C1, C2, T1, T2 or OFF in the

“ANALOG CAPTION” menu.

• Depending on the broadcast signal, some

Analog Captions will function with a Digital

broadcast signal.

Press EXIT to return to the normal screen.

NOTE

• To turn the Closed Caption feature off, select “OFF”.

• When a Digital signal is received, you can

choose from CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6

or OFF in the

“DIGITAL CAPTION” menu.
