 Closed Captions and Digital Closed Captions

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption 
decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration 
and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed 
Captions are available on some TV programs and on 
some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the 
program provider.

It is a more fl exible system than the original Closed 
Caption system, because it allows for a variety 
of caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital 
Closed Caption service is in use, it will be indicated 
by the appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also 
indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: 
ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French) or other 
language codes.

Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed 
captions. Please look for the “

N

” symbol to ensure 

that captions will be shown.



In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than 
one caption service provided.  Each is identifi ed by its 
own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services display 
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the 
program's picture.

In the Closed Caption system, the “Text1” or “Text2” 
services display text that is unrelated to the program 
being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services 
are also superimposed over the program currently 
being viewed.

Closed Caption 
information

Example:

If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1 
and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this 
sequence:

1/3 ENG

Off

2/3 CC1

3/3 Text1

The 

CC

 button keeps a record of the last service 

selected in its memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG) you 
selected is not available for the next program, or on 
another channel, the closed caption service that is 
available is automatically selected, and this service 
appears in parentheses, e.g. “1/3(CC1)”.
Closed Caption services that appear in parentheses will 
not be stored in the 

CC

 button's memory as your last 

selected service.  Only services that you have selected 
with the 

CC

 button are stored.

See page 25 for detailed closed caption settings.
When the program contains no closed caption, “--” displays 
in the closed caption information.
If the language code, e.g. “ENG”, is not found on Digital TV 
programs, “--” will be shown.
Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1, 
Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may contain 
none or only some of these services at the discretion of the 
program provider.
