ALWAYS: You can see all captions, whether or not any foul lan- guage was detected. But like the ON MUTE mode, captions are displayed with a suitable replacement word substituted for the foul language, and audio is muted for the foul language.
OFF: You cannot see captions. Whenever Foul Language is detected, only audio is muted.
Please set "CC2" or“C2” (Closed caption on channel 2) on your TV first when "TVG MODE" is set to "ON".
