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 translations.
All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-recorded video
tapes also provide closed captions. Most pre-recorded commercial video tapes provide closed
captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television schedule and on the
tape' s packaging:

Misspellings and unusual
characters sometimes occur during
closed caption transmissions, espe-
cially those of live events. There may
be a small delay before captions
appear when you change channels.
These are not malfunctions of the TV.
In "Caption" mode , captions
appear at the bottom of the screen,
and they usually cover only a small
portion of the picture.
In "Text" mode , information unrelat-
ed to the program, such as news or
weather, is displayed. Text often cov-
ers 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.)
