Viewing Closed Captions
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows.
These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign-language trans-
lations. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-record-

vide closed captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television schedule
and on the tape’s packaging:
