Using Closed Captioning
USING CLOSED CAPTIONING The receiver supports a variety of closed captioning formats. If turned on in the receiver,
closed captioning is displayed by the receiver through the HDTV Digital Audio/Video and
YPbPr outputs for each format.
The TV SET OUT, RCA video, and S-VIDEO receiver outputs provide closed captioning
information in the audio/video signal. However a closed-captioning compatible TV is
required to decode and display the captioning information the screen. Standard definition
display of closed captioning is a function of the TV and not the receiver. Refer to your TV
manual for enabling and setting up these closed captioning options.
Note: While the Program Guide information might show "CC" for a program, closed
captioning information is provided by programmers and guide data providers to Dish
Network. Therefore, while best efforts are made to provide the most accurate information,
DISH Network is not ultimately responsible for the accuracy of Program Guide and Closed
Captioning information provided by others.
