Viewing Closed Caption Information - Samsung ST50L2HD Instruction Manual

Viewing Closed Caption Information

Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions information that is broadcast along with some
television shows. These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or translations into
other languages. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so pre-
recorded video tapes can also deliver closed-caption information. Check for the closed caption
symbol ( ) on the tape's package or your TV program-schedule.
NOTE
• The Caption function doesn't operate in Zoom1, Zoom2.

on/off. Misspelling and unusu-
al characters sometimes occur
in closed caption transmis-
sions, especially those of live
events. There may be a small
delay before captions appear
when you change channels. (These do not indicate the
TV is malfunctioning.) Move the joystick down to
select the "Mode". Move the joystick right or left to
choose "Caption" or "Text." ln caption mode, cap-
tions appear at the bottom of the screen, and they
usually cover only a small portion of the picture. In

as news or weather, is displayed. Text often covers a
large portion of the screen.

captioning channel or field. Then, press Menu to
return to normal viewing. Different channels and fields
display different information. For example, Channel 1
may have subtitles in English, while Channel 2 has
subtitles in Spanish.
