Analog Captions

You can select a closed caption mode, which is the mode, or source, used for displaying captioning information for analog channels or digital channels, if available. The content of CC and Text are different; you can select which one you want to see on the screen.

CCDisplays information at any position on the screen. It overlays the text on top of the picture as it is received.

Text Displays information at one particular position (such as the bottom third) of the screen. You cannot see the picture underneath the text.

You can choose between eight closed caption modes:

•CC1 and Text 1 are the primary caption and text services. The captioning or text is displayed in the same language as the program’s dialog.

•CC3 and Text 3 serve as the preferred data channels. The captioning or text is often a secondary language translation, simplified English, or displayed at a slower rate.

•CC2 and CC4 and Text 2 and Text 4 are rarely available and broadcasters use them only in special conditions, such as when CC1 and CC3 are not available, or Text1 and Text3 are not available.

Digital Captions

You can select a closed caption, service mode (1-6) for digital channels.

Service 1 and Service 2 are the primary and secondary languages, respectively.

Service 3 and Service 4, 5, 6 are additional caption sources that may be available. Specific label names may be displayed (e.g., Spanish) instead of a generic label (e.g., Service 1), if available.

Caption Priority

You can choose whether the TV uses digital or analog captions for digital TV programs that have both or either. The captions are displayed if turned on in Caption Display.
