A digital TV program may include analog-TV captions and
digital-TV captions, either one of the two, or neither of the
two. The setting above will determine which type of
captions the TV will display.
Analog captions will be used more often in the early years
of digital TV broadcasting. Digital captions are more
advanced and have new capabilities.
If a digital TV program has both analog and digital captions:
Use the analog captions at all times.
Use the digital captions if available, otherwise use analog.
