Captions Menu
For analog channels, broadcasters can send either stan-
dard closed captions or text service. Standard closed
captions follow the dialogue of the characters on screen
and display in a small section of the screen. Text-service
closed captions often contain information such as
weather or news and cover a large portion of the screen.
For digital channels, broadcasters can send up to six dif-
ferent captioning selections or can send analog captions
that are the same as those sent by the analog station.
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 or HDMI inputs.
