C
losed Captioning allows
you to read the voice
content of television pro-
grams on the TV screen.
Designed to help the hearing
impaired, this feature uses
on screen "text boxes" to
show dialogue and conversa-
tions while the TV program
is in progress.
Note: Broadcast stations will
often use spelling abbrevia-
tions, symbols, dropouts, and
other grammatical shortcuts
in order to keep pace with
the on screen action. These
factors vary upon the source
of the captioned text materi-
al and do not indicate a need
for TV service.
