CC Selector
You can use the CC Selector to temporarily override the
default analog caption mode (set in Base CC Mode) for a
particular channel. However, once you change to another
analog channel, the closed caption setting will automatically
change back to the current Base CC Mode setting.
You can also use the CC Selector to select digital closed
caption services (if available). When such services are not
available, the CC Selector presents a default list of services. If
the selected service is not available, the next best service will
be used instead.
