Captions on Analog Channels
The TV can decode captions from ANT 1/ANT 2 and
INPUT 1/INPUT 2. Broadcasters can send either stan-
dard closed captions or text service. Standard closed
captions follow the dialogue of the program 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.
IMPORTANT
• Analog text-service options display a large
black or gray box on the screen when no
signal is being broadcast.
• The content of captions is determined by
the broadcaster. If captions show strange
characters, misspellings, or odd grammar,
it is not a malfunction of the TV.

Captions on Digital Channels
The TV can decode captions from ANT 1/ANT 2 only.
Broadcasters can send up to six different captioning
selections or can send analog captions that match those
sent by the analog station. A TV station may broadcast
only one or two types of captions or none at all.
Digital Settings menu. Check the caption test area
(upper right) to see how custom settings will look.
Guidelines for setting digital captions:
• Use contrasting colors for captions and
background.
• Check readability of captions using the
sample text in the upper right corner of
the menu.
• A white font on a black translucent
background makes an easy-to-read
combination.
