IMPORTANT
1. Not all television programmes and product commercials are made for broadcast with
Closed Captioning information included. Neither are all Closed Captioning modes (Caption
1 to 4 or TEXT 1 to 4) necessarily being used by a broadcast station during transmission
of a programme with Closed Captioning. Check with your local listings for details.
2. A broadcast station will often use spelling abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical
short-cuts in order to keep pace with the on-screen action. These vary with the source
of the captioned text material and do not indicate a need for the service of the television.
