Illlill_-il_W_-EII

•The CO button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory,

If the last closed caption mode (e.g 1/3ENG) you selected is not available for the next program, or on another channel, the closed caption service that is available is automatically selected, and this service appeals in parentheses, e.g "1/3(CC1)".

Closed Caption services that appear in palentheses will not be stored in the CO button's memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are stored

Examples:

In a case where there are two closed caption services provided (tor instance, Digital CC(ENG) and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG)is displayed

as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast for the next program, the other closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in

parentheses.

A closed caption service appears in parentheses because the sen/ice you selected is not available and a different service is displayed on your screen. "1/1 (CC1)" is displayed instead of "I/2/ENG".
