program, and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election of the program provider.

Please Note:
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available on digital TV programs
(also at the election of the service provider). It is a more flexible system than the original
Closed Caption system, because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font styles.
Not all programs and VHS video tapes offer closed caption. Please look for the CC
symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided.
Each is identified 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 Captioning for this TV only works under sources TV, and VIDEO.
