Captions on Analog Channels

The TV can decode captions from ANT 1/ANT 2 and the VIDEO composite and S-VIDEOjacks. Broadcasters can send either standard closed captions or text service. Stan- dard 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.

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 charac- ters, 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 these devices for closed-caption decoding.

Captions on Digital Channels

The TV can decode captions from ANT 1/ANT 2 only. Broadcasters can send up to six different captioning selections or can send analog captions that match those sent by the analog station. A TV station may broadcast only one or two types of captions or none at all.
