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 or text:

1 Press and open the Preferences menu,
highlight Base CC Mode.
2 Press W or X to select the desired closed caption
mode and press .
• To view captions:
Highlight CC1, CC2, CC3, or CC4. (CC1 displays
translation of the primary language in your area.)

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.

the following situations:
