Using The Closed Caption Decoder - Mitsubishi CS-31301 Owner's Manual

Using the closed caption decoder
_, Important:
Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along with their
regular broadcasts, Your TV can decode that information and display i.ton your
TV screen,
There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send: "standard" and
"textY
Standard captioning is related to the program that is being shown. Standard
captioning usually follows the dialogue of the characters omscreen.
Text captioning does not usu'ally relate to the program being shown, it often
contains information such as weather or news, Text captioning often blocks out
your view of the program you are watching.
Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals and four
different "text captioning" signals on each TV channel, However, each station
may be broadcasting only one or two captioning signals, or none at all.
To use the closed caption decoder:
O Press the VIDEO button on the
remote control until the closed
cap[ionlng (It) display appears
on the screen,
Press the ADJUST button on the
remote control to select the cap-
tioning signal you wish to display.

"standard captioning" signals (indi-
cated by a number), to display one of
four "text captioning" signals (indi-
cated by the word "Text" and a num-
ber), to display captions when muting,

Uses for closed captioning
Closed captioning was initially designed so that those with aural difficulties can
enjoy viewing television more. However, closed captioning can also be used in
other ways, such as:
• helping children learnt oread,
• learning a foreign language, and
* using the television without disturbing others.
if you cannot display any captions on the screen, please keep in mind that not all
broadcasters, videotapes, or laserdiscs supply closed caption signals.
Additionally, captions will not appear if you are playing a tape or laser disc
on a VCR or Laser Disc Player that cannot decode closed caption signals;
if you are playing a video tape that is worn or deteriorated; or if you are switching
from STILL mode or SEARCH mode to PLAY mode on a Laser Disc player
that cannot decode closed caption signals when playing in such a way.
