CLOSED CAPTION SYSTEM
Your TV/VCR has several closed caption op-
tions. Check your TV program listings for CC
(Closed Caption) broadcasts.
Selecting the Closed Caption Mode
Most broadcasters send closed captioning infor-
mation by using one of two captioning methods;
C1 and C2. You can select option C1 or C2 for
each active caption mode. You can select any of
the following caption modes.
CAP C1 or C2 — A narration of the TV program
is displayed on the TV screen.
TEXT C1 or C2 — The center of the screen is
blocked out. When the TV station broadcasts
text, such as program listings, special informa-
tion, etc., it appears in this space.
OFF — Narration does not appear on the screen
even if a closed caption or text broadcast is re-
ceived.
Notes:
• The closed caption or text signal might be
broadcast over C1, C2, or both.
• Text contents can vary, so you might want
to try different settings.

remote control until the desired caption mode
appears on the screen.
