Closed Captions (CC)
Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed
Caption decoder. It allows you to view
conversations, narration and sound effects as
subtitles on your TV. Closed Captions are
available on some TV programs and on some
VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the
program provider.
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption
service available only on digital TV programs
(also at the discretion of the service provider). It
is a more flexible system than the original
Closed Caption system, because it allows for a
variety of caption sizes and font styles. When
the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it
will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter
abbreviation that also indicates the language of
the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA
(Spanish), FRA (French) or other language
codes.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer
closed captions.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be
more than one caption service provided. Each
is identified by its own number. The "CC1" to
"CC4" services display subtitles of TV programs
superimposed over the program's picture.
In the Closed Caption system, the "TEXT1" to
"TEXT4" services display text that is unrelated
to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or
news). These services are also superimposed
over the program currently being viewed.
