For analog channels, broadcasters can send either
Standard or Text closed captioning. Standard Closed
Captions follows the dialogue of the characters on-
screen and displays in a small section of the screen.
Text Closed Captions often contain information such
as weather or news and covers a large portion of the
screen.
On digital channels, broadcasters can send up to 6
different captioning selections. Each TV station may
broadcast only one or two types of captions or none at
all. The TV cannot decode Closed Captions received
on Component 1 or 2 inputs.

Background

select either black or gray as the background color
behind the captions. If you use Closed Captions
frequently, Mitsubishi recommends gray for the
background to reduce uneven aging of the picture
tubes.
Note: See page 54 for information concerning uneven
aging of picture tubes.
