losed Captioning allows you
to read the voice content of
television programs on the TV
screen. Designed to help the
hearing impaired, this feature
uses on-screen text boxes to
show dialogue and conversations
while the TV program is in
progress.
Note: Broadcast stations will
often use spelling abbreviations,
symbols, dropouts and other
grammatical shortcuts in order
to keep pace with the on-screen
action. These factors vary with
the source of the captioned text
material and do not indicate a
need for TV service.
