For analog channels, broadcasters can send either Standard or Text closed captioning. Standard Closed Captions follows the dialogue of the characters on screen and displays in a small section of the screen. Text Closed Captions often contain information such as weather or news and covers a large portion of the screen.
On digital channels, broadcasters can send up to six different captioning selections or can send analog captions the same as the analog station sends. 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
