Caption Display,
Analog Captions, Digital Captions, Caption Priority,
and

Caption Display
The
Caption Display
menu displays a choice list that lets you choose when
closed captioning information is shown on the screen. HDMI/DVI input is not
supported by Closed Captioning (CC); try the component’s menu system for CC
options.
On
Captioning information is always shown when it’s available on a
channel or input.

No captioning information is displayed.
On When Muted
Captioning information is only shown when available
and the TV’s sound is muted. (To mute the sound, press the MUTE button
on the remote control and captioning information will appear on the screen,
if available.)
Notes:
Use the CC button on the remote to toggle CC on and off. Go to
the remote section for more information. Changing channels or inputs
restores CC to the default setting.

button on the remote even when you choose

displaying captioning information for analog channels or digital channels, if
available. The content of CC and Text are different; you can select which one
you want to see on the screen.
CC
Displays information at any position on the screen. It overlays the text
on top of the picture as it is received.
Text
Displays information at one particular position (such as the bottom
third) of the screen. You cannot see the picture underneath the text.
