Closed Caption

•How to set CLOSED CAPTION

•Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed Caption” is a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home videos to appear as captions on the TV screen (see the illustration).

•Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

•Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION

and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2:	PERSONAL PREFERENCE					VOLUME

Note:

•If a broadcast contains CLOSED CAPTION and the MUTE button is pressed, the set enters CAPTION mode automatically. Pressing MUTE again will return the set to its previous condition.

•Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor or if there are problems at the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with your TV.

•If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.

•If no TEXT broadcast is being received while viewing in the TEXT mode, the screen may become

dark and blank for some programs. Should this occur, switch the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.
