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 6 different captioning selections. 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 1 or 2 inputs.
