Chapter 6: Using the TV’s features
Using the closed caption mode

Base closed captions

The closed caption mode has two options:
•Captions—An on-screen display of the dialogue,
narration, and sound effects of TV programs and
videos that are closed captioned (usually marked
“CC” in program guides).
•Text—An on-screen display of information not
related to the current program, such as weather or
stock data (when provided by individual stations).
•To view captions:
Highlight CC1, CC2, CC3, or CC4. (CC1
displays translation of the primary language in
your area.)
Note: If the program or video you selected
is not closed captioned, no captions will
display on-screen.
•To view text:
Highlight T1, T2, T3, or T4.
Note: If text is not available in your area, a
black rectangle may appear on screen. If
this happens, set the Base CC Mode to
Off.
•To turn off the closed caption mode:
Select Off in step 2 above.
Note: A closed caption signal may not display
in the following situations:
•When a videotape has been dubbed
•When the signal reception is weak
•When the signal reception is non-standard
