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.

Tip
If you don't know which Closed-Caption
mode to use, select CC1. CC1 is probably
the mode that is used in your area. CC2,
CC3, and CC4 are reserved for foreign
languages, but are rarely used at this time.
