System Options and Preferences
Caption Display
The Caption Display menu displays a choice list that lets you choose when closed captioning information is shown on the screen.
Closed Captioning On Captioning information is shown always, when available.
Closed Captioning Off No captioning information is displayed.
On When Muted Captioning information is only shown when the TV’s sound is muted, when available. (To mute the sound, press the MUTE button on the remote control.)
Analog Captions
You can also select a closed caption mode, which is the mode, or source, used for displaying captioning information for all types of channels except digital terrestrial. The content of CC and Text are different; you can select which one you want to see on the screen.
•CC displays 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, or sources:
•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 Text 1 and Text 3 are not available.
