Viewing Closed Captions

Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows. These cap-
tions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign-language translations. All VCRs record
the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-recorded video tapes also provide closed
captions. Most DVDs and pre-recorded commercial video tapes provide closed captions as well. Check
for the closed caption symbol in your television schedule and on the tape's packaging:

Misspellings and unusual
characters sometimes occur during
closed caption transmissions, especially
those of live events. There may be a
small delay before captions appear
when you change channels. These are
not malfunctions of the TV.
In caption mode, captions appear
at the bottom of the screen, and they
usually cover only a small portion of the
picture.
In text mode, information unrelated to
the program, such as news or weather,
is displayed. Text often covers a large
portion of the screen.
Different channels and fields
display different information: Field 2
carries additional information that
supplements the information in Field 1.
(For example, Channel 1 may have
subtitles in English, while Channel 2 has
subtitles in Spanish.)
