MAKING HDTV-DISPLAY SETTINGS (cont.)
Making Closed Caption settings
Closed captioning is a means of displaying alerts (for example, hurricane warnings) and subtitles on
the TV screen, superimposed on whatever is being watched.
Use the HDTV-display menu (see page 44) to turn closed captions on, if required (the default is off).
To make additional closed captioning settings, highlight “CC Config” in the HDTV-display menu, then
press
select
. A second menu appears, as shown right.
You can use this menu to change the appearance of the closed captions. You highlight and make
settings in this menu in the same way as you do for the Main Menu (as described on page 44).
As you use this menu, the front-panel display will change, but it can be difficult to interpret the
abbreviations displayed in it.
Use the first six menu items to change the appearance of the closed captions. The
Closed
Caption Example
at the bottom of the menu changes to reflect the settings you make.
Std Def CC
refers to one of 4 possible closed-caption services (CC1 to CC4) that you can select
for standard definition channels. These are used for different languages or special services provided
by the caption authors. The standard caption service is CC1.
Hi Def CC
refers to one of 6 possible closed-caption services (Digital 1 to Digital 6) that you can
select for high definition channels. These are used for different languages, as well as special needs, and
are available only if the caption authors have provided them. The standard service is Digital 1.
Caption Style
has two available settings: Viewer and Program. You must select “Viewer” to save
the closed-caption settings that you, the viewer, have made in this menu. These settings will then be
used for all the closed captions that will appear on the TV. You need to do this to override the
settings that the caption authors use for them (the caption authors’ settings are known as “Program”).
Reset to Defaults:
Highlight and
select this menu item only if you wish to
reset every item in this menu to its
standard setting (used by the authors).
These are “Auto” for Size, Font,
Character and Background, “CC1” and
“Digital 1” for the closed-caption
services and “Program” for Caption
Style.
To go back to the HDTV-display Main
Menu (see page 44) at any time,
highlight “Back To Main Menu” then
press
select
on the front panel or
remote control.
