Figure 14
Select Captions to perform the functions listed below. For
analog channels (Antenna A or Antenna B), 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 (Antenna DTV) 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, Input-DTV or MonitorLink.

Background
To make the analog closed captions easier to read, you
can choose to display the background color as either
black or gray 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 72 for information concerning uneven
aging of picture tubes.
Digital Captions
The TV can display one of the following Captions for
Digital sources:
• Captions 1-6. Sent by broadcaster.
• On if Mute. Closed captions when mute. When
selected, the captioning signal (Caption 1) will turn
on/off by pressing MUTE on the TV remote control.
• Off. No closed captions.
Note: If the broadcaster is only sending analog
captions converted to digital, then the analog
captions settings apply.
Digital Settings
The Closed Captions provider selects Default options
when sending digital closed captions. You may, however,
select Custom option to customize the appearance.
Digital settings do not apply to analog closed captions
converted to digital.
Digital Channel Guide
Select On to display the Digital Channel Guide
automatically when changing channels and while viewing
Ant-DTV. The Digital Channel Guide lists the channel
and sub-channels, channel name and program title. The
information is provided by the broadcaster, and may not
be available for all channels.
IMPORTANT
The content of captions is determined by the
broadcaster. If your captions show strange
characters, misspellings or odd grammar, it is
not a malfunction of the TV.
