CLOSED-CAPTIONING
Captioning is textual information transmitted along with the picture and sound so it can be
displayed on the TV screen. Because different types of captions can be transmitted with
the TV signal, separate captioning modes are provided. The captioning modes recognized
by this model are: Caption1, Caption2, Text1, and Text2. Local broadcasters decide which
caption signals to transmit. They may not choose to provide captions or may provide
captions in one or all of the available modes.
Caption1: This is the main mode used for program
captioning (words match the program you are watching).
Almost all broadcasters will use Caption1 to transmit
program captions. These captions are generally one or
two lines.
Caption2: This is an alternative mode for program cap-
tioning. Caption2 may be used by the broadcaster to
provide captions in another language, such as, Spanish or
French.
Text1: This mode is used to display large amounts of text.
This text will appear within a black box that may be
nearly as large as the TV screen. Text displayed in this
manner does not generally relate to the program. These
captions may be used by broadcasters to provide weather
reports, community bulletins, stock quotes, etc.
Text2: This is an alternative mode used to display large
amounts of text. The same types of information displayed
in Text1 can be displayed in Text2.
Quikcap: Quikcap allows captions to toggle on and off
with the Mute function. For example, the phone rings; you
press the MUTE key on the remote control to block the
TV sound; the captions display automatically. When you
finish your conversation and press the MUTE key again to
restore the sound, the captions will disappear.
Quikcap displays program captions in the Caption1 mode.

1. Press the CAPTION key on the remote control.
