Using The Closed Caption Decoder - Mitsubishi CS-7407 Owner's Manual

Using the closed caption decoder
Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along
with their regular broadcasts. Your TV can decode that informa-
tion and display it on your TV screen..
There are two types of.captioning tha: broadcaster's can send:
"standard" and "text." Standard captioning usually follows the
dialogue of the characters on-screen. Text captioning often
contains information such as weather or news and blocks out your
view of the program you are watching.
Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals
and four different "text captioning" si_nals on each TV channel.
However, each station may be broadcasting only one or two
captioning signals, or none at all.

uses for closed captioning
Closed captioning was initially design_ d so that those with hearing
difficulties can enjoy viewing television more. However, closed
captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:
• helping children learn to read,
• learning a foreign language, and
• using the television without disturlcing others.
If you cannot display any captions on the s:reen, please keep in mind that
not all broadcasters, vid_o tapes, or lasevdiscs supply closed caption signals.
