Because different types of captions can be transmitted with the TV signal, separate captioning modes are provided. The captioning modes recognized by this model are: Caption1, Caption2, Text1, and Text2. Local broadcasters decide which caption signals to transmit. They may not choose to provide captions or may provide captions in one or all of the available modes.

Caption1: This is the main mode used for program captioning (words match the program you are watching). Almost all broadcasters will use Caption1 to transmit program captions. These captions are generally one or two lines.

Caption2: This is an alternative mode for program cap- tioning. Caption2 may be used by the broadcaster to provide captions in another language, such as, Spanish or French.

Text1: This mode is used to display large amounts of text. This text will appear within a black box that may be nearly as large as the TV screen. Text displayed in this manner does not generally relate to the program. These captions may be used by broadcasters to provide weather reports, community bulletins, stock quotes, etc.

Text2: This is an alternative mode used to display large amounts of text. The same types of information displayed in Text1 can be displayed in Text2.

Quikcap: Quikcap allows captions to toggle on and off with the MUTE function. For example, the phone rings; you press the MUTE key on the remote control to block the TV sound; the captions display automatically. When you finish your conversation and press the MUTE key again to restore the sound, the captions will disappear.

Quikcap displays program captions in the Caption1 mode.
