Using The Closed Caption Decoder - Mitsubishi CS-35503 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 informa-
tion and display it on your TV screen.
There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send:
"standard" and "text." Standard captioning usually follows the
dialogue of the characters on-screen. Text captioning often
contains information such as "weather or news and 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 cn each TV channel.
However, each station may be broadcasting only one or two
captioning signals, or none at all.

uses for closed captioning
Closed captioning was initially desigmed so that those with hearing
difficulties can enjoy viewing television more. However, closed
captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:
• helping children learn to read,
• 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, video tapes, or taserdiscs supply closed
caption signals.
