shown. Standard captioning usually follows the dialogue of the

Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals and four different "text captioning _' signals on each TV channel.

However, each station may be broadcasting only one or two

captioning signals, or none at. all.

to display one of four "standard captioning" signals ( _,_--C7:1, :2, _ :3, _ :4),

to display one of four "text captioning" signals ( _-_ : Text 1, [] :

Text 2, [] : Text 3, _-_ : Text 4),
