Viewing Closed Captions
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows.
These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign-language trans-
lations. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-record-
ed video tapes also provide closed captions. Most pre-recorded commercial video tapes pro-
vide closed captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television schedule
and on the tape' s packaging:

Quick way to access captions
menu: Simply press the "Caption"
button on the remote control:
Misspellings and unusual
characters sometimes occur dur-
ing closed caption transmissions,
especially those of live events.
There may be a small delay before
captions appear when you change
channels. These are not malfunc-
tions of the TV.
In caption mode, captions
appear at the bottom of the
screen, and they usually cover
only a small portion of the pic-
ture.
In text mode, information unre-
lated to the program, such as
news or weather, is displayed.
Text often covers a large portion
of the screen.
Different channels and fields
display different information:
Field 2
carries additional information that
supplements the information in
Field 1. (For example, Channel 1
may have subtitles in English,
while Channel 2 has subtitles in
Spanish.)
