Captions on Analog Channels

The TV can decode captions from the ANT input and the composite VIDEO jacks. Broadcasters can send either standard closed captions or text service. Standard closed captions follow the dialogue of the program and display in a small section of the screen. Text-service closed captions often contain information such as weather or news and cover a large portion of the screen.

Captions on Digital Channels

The TV can decode captions from the ANT input only. Broadcasters can send up to six different captioning selections or can send analog captions for a program that originated in analog format. A TV station may broad- cast only one or two types of captions or none at all.

IMPORTANT

•Analog text-service options display a large black or gray box on the screen when no signal is being broadcast.

•The content of captions is determined by the broadcaster. If captions show strange char- acters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is not a malfunction of the TV.

•Closed-caption signals are not available through HDMI or component jacks. See the menus for devices connected to these inputs for closed- caption decoding.
