Closed Captions 

Closed captioning displays the sound of a program as words on the TV screen. It is useful for the deaf,
hearing impaired, or anyone who wants to watch a program without sound. If you have turned closed
captioning on and it does not appear on the screen, it is not available on the channel you are watching.
Check your TV program listings for CC (closed caption) broadcasts. This TV/VCR also supports two text
modes used to display text sent from a TV station or cable company.
