information. If you are unsure of the differences among the modes, you may prefer to leave the

in the same language as the program’s dialog.

secondary language translation, simplified English, or displayed at a slower rate.
•
CC2
and
CC4
and
Text2
and
Text4
are rarely available and broadcasters use them only in
special conditions, such as when CC1 and CC3 are not available, or Text1 and Text3 are not
available.
