Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the screen in English or another language (depending on the set- ting of the Closed Captions).
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Cap- tions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show
Most other shows provide two or three lined Captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information.
After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.
If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is received again. If the channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions symbol (CC).
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS Press TV/CAP/TEXT to switch between normal TV and the two closed caption modes (captions and full screen text). Closed captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers.
