Figure 8
For analog channels, broadcasters can send either standard closed captions or text service. Standard closed captions follow the dialogue of the characters on screen and display in a small section of the screen. Text service closed captions often contain information such as weather or news and cover a large portion of the screen.
For digital channels, broadcasters can send up to six dif- ferent captioning selections or can send analog captions that are the same as those sent by the analog station.
Each TV station may broadcast only one or two types of captions or none at all. The TV cannot decode closed captions received on COMPONENT or HDMI inputs.
Background
To make the analog closed captions easier to read, you can choose to display the background color as either black or gray behind the text.
Digital Captions
The following display options are available for digital sources:
•Captions
•On if Mute: Closed captions are displayed when audio is muted. When selected, press MUTE on the TV remote control to turn captioning on/off (Caption 1).
•Off: No closed captions.
Note: For digital programs, if the broadcaster is sending only analog captions converted to digital, then the analog caption settings apply.
