• The CO button keeps a record of the last service
selected in its memory,
If the last closed caption mode (e.g 1/3ENG) you
selected is not available for the next program, or on
another channel, the closed caption service that is
available is automatically selected, and this service
appeals in parentheses, e.g "1/3(CC1)".
Closed Caption services that appear in palentheses will
not be stored in the CO button's memory as your last
selected service. Only services that you have selected
with the CC button are stored

In a case where there are two closed caption
services provided (tor instance, Digital CC(ENG)
and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG)is displayed
as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is
not broadcast for the next program, the other
closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in
parentheses.
A closed caption service appears in parentheses
because the sen/ice you selected is not available
and a different service is displayed on your screen.
"1/1 (CC1)" is displayed instead of "I/2/ENG".
