Using Closed Captioning
Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning information, which lets you display the audio portion
of a program as text on the TV screen.
Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all times. Only specific programs encoded with closed-
captioning information are applicable. When a program is closed captioned, the
CC
icon is displayed in the
channel banner. See Chapter 3 for more information about the channel banner.
Closed-Caption Modes
The TV offers eight closed-captioned modes, including four
text modes.
To set the
Closed-Caption Mode
:
1.
Select
Screen
from the Main menu.
2.
Highlight
Closed-Caption Mode
and press OK (the
Closed-
Caption Mode
appears).
3.
Highlight your choice and press OK (the
Screen
menu
appears again).
Note: The Text modes cover nearly half of the picture on the
screen to display the closed-captioned text. Most
broadcasters use the CC mode, which displays a few lines of
captions at a time.
