Technical Information
Closed caption (CC)
For viewing the CC of digital broadcasting, set the aspect to FULL (If viewing with H-FILL, JUST, ZOOM or 4:3;
characters might be cut off).
The CC can be displayed on the TV if the receiver (such as a set-top box or satellite receiver) has the CC set On
using the Component or HDMI connection to the TV.
If the CC is set to On on both the receiver and TV when the signal is 480i (except for the HDMI connection), the CC
may overlap on the TV.
If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will also be output in analog format.
If the recorder or output monitor is connected to the TV, the CC needs to be set up on the recorder or output monitor.
EIA-708 is the standard for closed captioning for ATSC digital television streams in the United States and Canada.
EIA-608, also known as line 21 captions, used to be the standard for closed captioning for NTSC TV broadcasts in the
United States and Canada.
