Using the TV’s Menu System

CC1 and Text 1 are the primary caption and text services. The captioning or text is displayed in the same language as the program’s dialog.

CC3 and Text 3 serve as the preferred data channels. The captioning or text is often a secondary language translation, simplified English, or displayed at a slower rate.

CC2 and CC4 and Text 2 and Text 4 are rarely available and broadcasters use them only in special conditions, such as when CC1 and CC3 are not available, or Text1 and Text3 are not available.
