Captions Menu: Closed Captions
Captions Menu
(Figure 1)
Broadcasters can send either Standard or
Text closed captioning. Standard closed
captioning follows the dialogue of the charac-
ters on-screen and displays in a small sec-
tion of the screen. Text closed captioning
often contains information such as weather
or news and covers a large portion of the on-
screen program. Your TV can decode four
different standard and four different text
closed captioning signals from each TV
station. However, each TV station may broad-
cast only one or two closed captioning sig-
nals, or none at all.
Within the Captions Menu, you can turn on or
off the closed caption decoder, select the
type of captions or text, and choose black or
translucent gray as the background color for
the closed caption area.
Closed Captions
(Figure 1)
The TV can display one of the following:
CC1, CC2, CC3, or CC4: Standard closed
captioning signals.
Text1, Text2, Text3, or Text4: Text closed
captioning signals.
On if mute: Closed captions when mute.
When selected, the standard closed
captioning signal (CC1) will turn on/off by
pressing the MUTE button on the TV
remote control.
Off: No closed captions.

Captions Menu
When Text closed captioning is selected, a
large black or gray box will appear on your
TV screen if no signal is broadcast.
The content of captions is determined by
the broadcaster. If your captions show
strange characters, misspellings, or odd
grammar, it is not a malfunction of the TV.

To make the closed captions easier to read,
you can choose to display the background
color as either black or translucent gray.
