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 letters CC are 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 OK (the
Closed-Caption Mode appears).

3.

Highlight your choice and press OK (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 OK to select Closed-Caption Display.

3.

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