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.
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption
service available only on digital TV programs
(also at the discretion of the service 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.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more
than one caption service provided. Each is identifi ed
by its own number. The "CC1" to "CC4" services
display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over
the program's picture.
In the Closed Caption system, the "TEXT1" to
"TEXT4" services display text that is unrelated to the
program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These
services are also superimposed over the program
