Using Closed Captioning
Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning information, which lets you display the
audio portion of a program as text on the TV screen.
Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all times. Only specific programs encoded
with closed-captioning information are applicable. When a program is closed captioned, the
CC
icon is displayed in the channel banner. See Chapter 3 for more information about the
channel banner.
Closed-Caption Modes
The TV offers eight closed-captioned modes, including four text modes.

Closed-Caption Mode
