Your TV is equipped with an internal closed caption decoder that enables you to view conversations, narration, and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed captions are available on some TV programs, and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election of the program provider.

Digital Closed Caption is a caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the election of the program provider). It is a more flexible system than the original closed caption system, because it allows a variety of font sizes and styles in the captions. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it is indicated by a three-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French), or other language codes.

Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captioning. Look for the symbol to ensure that captions appear.

If the signal source equipment is connected to the TV at an HDMI or a component video connection, closed caption information may not always be available, because the source equipment may not pass the information to the TV across these connectors.

In the closed caption system, more than one caption service can be provided. Each is identified by its own number. CC1 through CC4 services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program picture.

The Text1 through Text4 services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed, such as weather or news. These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed.

■Depending on the number of caption services in the signal being received, you will see information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed. 1/2 means “the first of two services.”

Example: If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1, and Text1), the closed caption display toggles in sequence.

■The CC button stores in memory a record of the last service selected. If the last closed caption mode that 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 appears in parentheses. Closed caption services that appear in parentheses are not retained in the CC button memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are retained.
